Including agencies like Meals on Wheels on your gift list could make a big difference BY ELIZABETH COOK ecook@salisburypost.com
he daily pickup for Meals on Wheels runs like clockwork. The food is ready to go by 10:30 a.m. every weekday, 52 weeks a year. Volunteers pick up the meals by 11 and fan out over the county, taking warm, nutritious food to some 200 homes. Just like clockwork, on the surface. But like many nonprofit agencies, Meals on Wheels runs on volunteer power. And volunteers have lives. They go on vacation, get sick, have car trouble. So Meals on Wheels has a particular need for substitute drivers willing to fill in when regulars can’t make it, says Rita Simmons, executive director. Meals on Wheels also needs — as it always does — more people willing to volunteer on a regular basis. Without volunteers to carry meals to their doorsteps, 200 older or disabled people unable to cook for themselves would have to go without or make do. “It may be the only meal they get all day,” says Jim Baird, who has been delivering meals for 17 years. “It may be their only human contact

all day.” The Christmas is a good time to consider enlarging gift lists by contributing to local nonprofits like Meals on Wheels. The Salisbury Post runs a list each year called “Sharing the Season.” Found on pages 2A and 3A today, the list includes many of the area’s nonprofits and their wish lists or needs. Need comes in all forms — items to fill Christmas stockings at the Lutheran Home, office chairs at the Red Cross, used tack at the Horse Protection Society, Angel Tree gifts for 1,200 children at the Salvation Army. And more, much more You can write a check, donate specific items or, like the Meals on Wheels volunteers, give your time. “This is one of the easiest jobs you can do to help people,” Baird said as he made his rounds on a recent Monday. Baird and Peggy Bollinger make up one of the several teams from Milford Hills United Methodist Church that delivers Meals on Wheels on the third Monday of each month. The two are visiting six homes on this day, delivering meals of ham, greens, white beans, vanilla pudding, a roll and milk or juice.
mary Baker accepts her meal from volunteer Peggy Bollinger. One person can deliver meals alone, but most people prefer to work in twos. Baird, retired from Jockey in Cooleemee, carried on the volunteer work after his wife died last December. Bollinger volunteered after her mother died in May. Jim drives and takes turns with Peg-
After a month in the hospital and test after test, doctors still don’t know what landed Rockwell resident Kim Goble in their care. Kim can’t speak or eat, and he can barely move. His wife, Marcela, stays with him every day, leaving each night only because she isn’t allowed to sleep on the floor. He follows her with his eyes as she helps the nurses, holds his hand and talks to him. started It when the 40-yearold began talking “out of his head” late last month, Marcela said. “We were watching a TV show where someone was pregnant, and he said, ‘I would nevSuBmiTTed PHoTo er lie to Addison Kim Goble gets a hug about you being from his daughter, Addipregnant,’ ” she son. said. “I said, ‘What are you talking about? I’m not pregnant.’ ” Over the next couple of days, he continued to say and do strange things, repeat himself often and get angry more than usual. The normally upbeat, easygoing man became aggressive and forceful in manner. “Something was going on with him, and he could tell, because on Monday he said, ‘I know something is wrong and I don’t know what it is,’ ” Marcela said. “I think he was worried he was mentally losing it. He kept saying, ‘You’re not putting me away.’ ” Marcela took him to Rowan Regional Medical Center the next day, Oct. 26, to get him some help. They began running tests, but on Nov. 4 he had a seizure that paralyzed him. He was placed on a respirator and a feeding tube and transferred to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in WinstonSalem. For a couple of days, he was unresponsive. When he came to, he still couldn’t move, talk or even swallow. He could only move his eyes. Kim then underwent a barrage of tests — spinal taps, CAT scans, MRIs and EEGs. Every screening so far has come back negative. Lab results from a brain biopsy were inconclusive. “They know there is brain damage; they just don’t know what’s causing it,” Marcela said. During one round of testing, a 1.6 centimeter tumor was found on his left kidney. Doctors killed it by heating it with a needle in a process called ablation. “At first, the doctors thought that was causing everything,” Marcela said. “Now,

Santa, Grinch greet those gathered at Bell Tower BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com
In this corner, Santa Claus. Jolly. Master sleigh driver. Smells like cookies. In the other corner, the Grinch. Devious. Larceny in his blood. Three words to describe him: Stink, stank, stunk. Santa Claus and the Grinch appeared on the same billing Saturday morning at the Bell Tower Park in downtown Salisbury. A long line of children, parents and

grandparents stood on the brick walkway leading to the gazebo where Santa and Mrs. Claus waited to meet with the families and hear what the little ones are thinking about for Christmas. Meanwhile, the green-skinned Grinch looked a little lonely at times. He had plenty of visitors, for sure, but the children tended to approach him with caution. It wasn’t so much a line waiting to see him as it was a semi-circle of people debating whether they could trust him. Santa, good. Grinch, bad.

But give it to the kids who see goodness in everyone. Even green scoundrels. And don’t forget, he’s a movie star. “ ‘Grinch’ is her favorite Christmas movie,” Jennifer Cutshaw said of her 4-year-old daughter, Mallory Holleman. “And we can’t wait to see Mr. and Mrs. Claus.” Mallory already has watched “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” twice this holiday season.

— troops 83,5 1440, 1070 and 52 — gathered at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church and packed the boxes. That’s for the rare days when volunteers can’t make their rounds. Since 1976, though, Baird, Bollinger and thousands of other volunteers have faithfully kept Meals on Wheels on the road. By giving a couple hours of their time each month, they comprise a network that gives thousands of hours each year to serve oth-
ers. Many churches supply volunteers for the agency, taking one or two days a month on a regular basis. Betty Ruhlman has RUHLMAN been Milford Hills United Methodist Church’s Meals on Wheels coordinator for
about 25 years. She stands by as her volunteers pick up meals. If someone can’t make it, Ruhlman loads the meals into her car and delivers them. And she’s done so many times. “It’s been a joy,” Ruhlman says. “It’s a great ministry.” To volunteer to deliver food for Meals on Wheels, call 704-633-0352 or go to www.mealsonwheelsrowannc.org.

ILLNESS froM 1a they’re saying it wasn’t, because it was so small and it didn’t spread.” Since the tumor was burned, though, Kim has shown slow signs of improvement. He can breathe on his own, swallow, make noises and make very slight movements. Marcela said he even managed to speak Tuesday when an IV line had to be changed and he let out a couple choice words. “I don’t like that he was in pain, but I was just glad he could talk,” she said. She said she hadn’t been eating much while Kim was in the hospital until he began improving for two days straight, and then she “practically ate all day” as her appetite returned. When he seemed distressed Tuesday, she encouraged him and told him he was getting better. “Before, they had told me there was a very good possibility he wouldn’t make it,” she said. Kim was moved from intensive to acute care as his condition improved, but there have been no new developments since Tuesday. Marcela said his doctors aren’t sure

Marcela had been staying in a hotel in Winston-Salem for $80 per night before finally renting an apartment in the area. While the couple’s finances will take a hit from this expense and Kim’s treatment, money is not her main concern. What she would ask for most is prayer, she said. “If it wasn’t for the Lord, I would not have gotten through this,” she said. “I don’t know how anybody would.”
Marcela said Kim often tears up when seeing or hearing about their two daughters. Addison, 11, goes to Erwin Middle School. “It’s really been hard on her being away from us,” Marcela said. “My sister keeps her.” Brittny, 19, is Kim’s stepdaughter, and she attends Mitchell Community College in Statesville. “She considers him her dad,” Marcela said. “She had a hard time when they first brought him here, but now when she visits, she comes in
and tries to keep the mood upbeat.” Secily Fagan, Marcela’s sister, said the whole family has struggled to adapt to the situation. “We would see him every day,” she said. “I just had my daughter — she’s 3 months old — and he’s very attached to her.” She describes Kim as an intelligent, active “big kid.” “He was full of life (before this),” Fagan said. “You never had a dull moment, and he was never a down person.” Marcela said Kim is “usu-

ally the first person to say he’s sorry and the last person to hold a grudge.” The two have lived in the Rockwell area for the past three and a half years. When they first got married, they lived in his hometown of Mooresville. Marcela is from Kannapolis but has family in Rockwell, so the couple moved to be closer to them. She said Kim loves sports, especially golf, basketball and NASCAR. Health problems began interfering with his hobbies and soon with his job at Freightliner, which he quit in June 2007. “He had spells where his legs would fall out from under him,” she said. “They think it may have been mini-strokes (transient ischemic attacks) ... He also has fibromyalgia.” In the past several months, he would also occasionally get tremors and shakes, Marcela said. Kim had just started receiving disability payments at the end of September when he took a turn for the worse a month later. Marcela said doctors have brought up various possible causes for Kim’s present condition, from catatonia to meningitis to Parkinson’s disease. Most of them have been ruled out.
Marcela said her husband has been seen by at least 10 doctors with a variety of specialties — neurologists (nervous system), oncologists (cancer), a nephrologist (kidney) and even a gastroenterologist (digestive system). Paula Faria, spokesperson for Baptist Medical Center, said this kind of multidisciplinary approach is common at the hospital. “Our patients here are often seen by multiple specialists,” Faria said. “Together, that team of specialists … determines the treatment available based on the latest technology.” She said she could not speak specifically about Kim’s case, but the hospital’s staff members are used to cracking medical mysteries like his. “Because we are an academic medical center … we see the most complicated patient cases in the region and we care for the sickest of the sick,” Faria said. Fagan said she hopes someone will hear of Kim’s illness and know what it is. “I told my sister, ‘You can get the word out, and you never know what one person can come up with that we’ve never thought about,’ ” Fagan said.

ROAD TO RECOVERY
Restaurant celebrates holiday spirit
BY SUSAN SHINN For The Salisbury Post
OCKWELL — Tim Elrod is standing tall these days. I mean, really tall. Thanks to the help of his family and friends and the community, Elrod — injured in a motorcycle accident almost a year ago — recently received a stand-up wheelchair. It’s something else. Weighing in at 400 pounds, the chair can put Elrod in any position he likes: sitting, standing, leaning back, even lying flat. Elrod still uses a regular wheelchair in his job as a reliability and integrity engineer at DukeEnergy. That helps him to maintain his upper-body strength. But since he’s the first one home in the afternoons — wife Teresa is an MRI technician — he always had supper waiting for her. In his other wheelchair, he couldn’t negotiate the kitchen. Rather than having the kitchen renovated — lowering counters and the like, the Elrods opted to purchase a power chair with standup capabilities. InsurTIM ELROD ance does not Wheelchair user cover it. Friends and family wanted to help. They came up with the idea of a motorcycle rally in April — the Elrods both rode Harleys before the accident. “We were very lucky the way the rally went,” Elrod says. “If it hadn’t been for that, I wouldn’t be sitting in this chair.” Rally organizers wanted to raise $20,000 for the chair. Elrod thought that was all well and good, but doubted that much money could be raised in one day. The event raised $22,000. “I saw people I hadn’t seen in 30 years,” Elrod says. “People said, ‘Well, you would have done

But when it happens to you, it’s overwhelming.” The Elrods especially want to thank all the event’s sponsors: Victory Wealth Management, Sun-drop, Cheerwine, Pro-Class Trailers & Equipment, Frank Corriher Beef & Sausage, J.E. Fisher Insurance Agency, Diver-

plained to him what features he would need — and what he wouldn’t need, too. Just like a vehicle, these power chairs have multiple options. Sunrise Medical donated a gel cushion for the chair, which helps guard against pressure sores. Elrod met with his doctor to make sure his body would be capable of standing. The two men brought Elrod a loaner chair to try out for a few days. In rehab, he’d had issues with his blood pressure dropping when he was raised into a standing position. He wasn’t sure what was going to happen now. “I was actually terrified,” Elrod admits. “They said, let’s go slow and take your time. I stood up for about 5 minutes. I thought, ‘Yes! I’m gonna be able to do it!’ I was jumping up and down inside. I was tickled to death.” Before the accident, Elrod stood 5 feet 11 inches. Standing in the chair, he estimates his height is about 6 feet, 6 inches — more if he needs to reach a high shelf in the kitchen or change a
Captain D’s Seafood Kitchen of Salisbury served more than 400 free turkey dinners Thanksgiving Day, relying on community donations and 21 volunteers, including General Manager Joe Hawkins and his staff. “The majority of folks who came through our line were very appreciative,” volunteer Terri Hawkins said. “They were either smiling, thanking us for doing it and wishing us a happy Thanksgiving, or telling us of their woes and saying if it wasn’t for us, they wouldn’t be having a Thanksgiving dinner. “Either way, it was a good feeling to know we were really making a difference.” The restaurant called it “The Captain’s Community Thanksgiving Dinner, 2010.” “The response was awesome, not only from people who wanted to eat — and had genuine need — but from the general community as well,” Terri Hawkins said. The takeout Thanksgiving dinners were served from 11 a.m-2 p.m. Thursday at the restaurant, located at 707 E. Innes St. After a Post story prior to the event, Captain D’s received food and enough monetary donations to purchase the remaining supplies it needed to pull the dinner off, Hawkins said. “We very much appreciate the support of the community, and we are very thankful for the donations of money, supplies and service,” she said. “We can only hope we are as fortunate next year as we have been this year.”

Fisher among Republicans calling for leadership change WASHINGTON (AP) — A significant bloc of Republican National Committee members wants embattled chairman Michael Steele to step aside, but the rank and file have failed to settle on a clear alternative, according to Associated Press interviews with committee members. More than four dozen interviews with members of the 168-member central committee found fear that a badly damaged Steele could emerge from the wreckage of a knockdown, drag-out fight to head the party as it challenges President Barack Obama in 2012. While most agree that Steele’s time has been rough — and costly — the members also recognize that a leadership fight could overshadow gains that Republicans made in the midterm elections. With balloting set to take place in just two months, many just want Steele to go. “You can’t keep spending the
kind of money they’re spending every month just to operate the RNC,” said committee member Dr. Ada Fisher of North Carolina. “I would hope he would step aside.” Fisher has been a familiar name on Rowan County ballots over the past decade. She is a former member of the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education. She has run FISHER unsuccessfully as a candidate for the U.S. Senate, U.S. House and N.C. House. “The question is who should be hired for the next two years, It’s not a matter of firing anybody,” said James Bopp, a committee member from Indiana who holds great sway among social conservatives on the panel. “I just don’t think Steele has performed at the level we need for the presidential cycle.”
In interviews with 51 committee members, 39 said they preferred Steele not be on the ballot when they meet near Washington in mid-January to pick their leader. For his part, Steele hasn’t said whether he will pursue the 85-vote majority needed for a second term. Already, members have been hearing from others interested in that quest. Michigan committeeman Saul Anuzis has announced his candidacy. Former RNC strategist Gentry Collins, an operative who is warmly regarded among RNC members, has formed a committee to explore a chairman’s race. So, too, have Missouri chairwoman Ann Wagner and former Bush administration official Maria Cino. A group of committee members, meanwhile, is courting Wisconsin GOP chairman and RNC lawyer Reince Priebus, who ran Steele’s 2009 bid for chairman but has not ruled out challenging him.
Connecticut chairman Chris Healy also is weighing a run. And several GOP governors have urged Republican Governors Association executive director Nick Ayers to seek the position, a suggestion he has been reluctant to embrace. Steele, too, is talking to committee members, highlighting his role in the Republican landslide. Voters punished Democrats from New Hampshire to California, giving Republicans at least 63 new seats in the House. Republicans picked up 10 governorships and added six Senate seats. The party also gained control of 19 state legislative chambers and now hold their highest level of state legislative seats since 1928. “Now is not the time to trade in proven electoral success for unproven hope,” Idaho Republican chairman Norm Semanko told fellow RNC members. “Now is not the

Public memorial set for Zahra HICKORY (AP) — A memorial service will be held Thursday for a 10-year-old disabled girl who police think was dismembered after her death in North Carolina. According to an obituary for Zahra Baker on the Drum Funeral Home website, the service will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday at the mortuary’s Hickory chapel. The obituary does not include a date of death nor include her stepmother, Elisa Baker, in the list of survivors. Elisa Baker has been accused by authorities of obstructing justice in the investigation and led police to the girl’s remains. No one has been charged in connection with the girls’ disappearance or death. The girl, who had used a prosthetic leg and hearing aids after a bout with cancer, was reported missing in October and police say they found her remains earlier this month.
The obituary does list Elisa Baker’s daughters — Zahra’s stepsisters — among survivors along with her mother and grandparents in Australia, where Zahra was born. “She was a strong, courageous and fun person who was everyone’s friend and protective of her family and friends,” according to the obituary that the funeral home says was submitted by the girl’s father, Adam Baker. Funeral home office manager Patti Merritt told The Charlotte Observer that the service will be open to the public, but that the chapel only holds about 200 people. The funeral home staff says burial plans have not been made. The medical examiner has not released the remains, Hickory Police Deputy Chief Clyde Deal said Friday. Police also are awaiting results of tests on evidence and expect to receive that next week
CHAIR FROM 4a light bulb. He went outside with the chair. He found he could go all over the property with it. He could stand at the grill. He could work in his shop. He could relax on the patio with his wife. In short, he regained a huge measure of independence. Elrod had returned to work in July, just a few hours a day. He was still having pain in his back and some muscle spasms, but he decided he’d rather be at work than sit home and think about everything he couldn’t do around the house. Elrod has been with Duke Energy for 25 years, and says he really enjoys his work. A dozen co-workers in his group split up his work while he was out. “It’s hard to get down when you have so many people doing so many wonderful things for you,” he says. In the waning afternoon light, Elrod takes his chair outside for a spin. He zips up the hilly driveway — a little too fast for my comfort level, to tell you the truth — and starts doing doughnuts on the concrete driveway. JON C.

time to change leaders. And now is not the time to be distracted into internal strife and battles among one another for power and control of the GOP infrastructure.” Looking ahead, the GOP focus is voting Obama out of office. To do that, Republicans need a coherent message, a strong party apparatus and a sizable account that Steele has seemed uninterested in building. When Collins resigned from the national committee last week, he wrote a scathing letter questioning the ability of the RNC, under Steele, to lead the charge against the Democrats. “Sadly, if left on its current path, the RNC will not be a productive force in the 2012 campaign to deny President Obama a second term, retain our House majority and elect a Senate majority,” he wrote to the party’s leadership. The letter was a playbook for any of Steele’s potential rivals, noting that the chairman had maxed out a $15 million credit line the committee had approved. “I think the Gentry Collins letter made it impossible for Mike Steele to be re-elected,” said Virginia committee member Morton Blackwell, who is backing Anuzis. Steele started the job with a $23 million surplus; the RNC raised more than $79 million this year and has spent all of it. Some went to places that previously saw little RNC cash or interest, including five U.S. territories that each has three votes on the central committee. “There are two things that a chairman needs to understand. They’re going to start with a deficit. That’s fact. They also will need to figure out how to get the major donors back on board because they weren’t on board last time,” said Linda Herren, a committee member from Georgia. “They still helped elect Republicans.

not through the RNC.” Third-party groups, led by veteran GOP operatives Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie, raised in a few months almost as much as the RNC has since January 2009. Those dollars fueled blistering television ads that helped Republicans to victory but were an embarrassment to the RNC. During Republican governors’ private meetings last week in California, a consensus emerged that Steele must leave his post when his term expires. Governors returned to their states and this week shared that message with their committee members, telling them that retaking the White House requires someone else.

Raleigh may ban smoking in city parks RALEIGH (AP) — Raleigh officials are considering a ban on smoking in city parks. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that the city’s parks board unanimously approved a ban last week. The City Council has the final say on the proposed ordinance. Parks board member Rodger Koopman says he worries the ban would be difficult to enforce. The City Council considered banning smoking in children’s public play areas in 2007, but didn’t have the authority to do that until a new law passed last year. The same law that banned smoking in most restaurants and bars statewide allows local governments to ban smoking in public places. Mayor Charles Meeker says the ban is an outgrowth of the belief that smoking in places that affect other people is no longer acceptable.
Clinton speaks in Greensboro Tuesday GREENSBORO (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton is visiting Greensboro to take part in a lecture series. Clinton is scheduled to talk in an event hosted by Guilford College on Tuesday at the Greensboro Coliseum. His talk is titled: “Embracing Our Common Humanity.” The Bryan Series hosted by Guilford College has previously brought in former heads of state such as Mikhail Gorbachev of the Soviet Union in 2004 and Mary Robinson of Ireland in 2006. Clinton is the first U.S. president to take part in the program. A limited number of tickets to the event are available for purchase.
Police investigate death of 17-month-old ST. PAULS (AP) — North Carolina police are investigating the death of a 17-monthold boy in the small town of St. Pauls about 20 miles south of Fayetteville. The Fayetteville Observer reported that Nathaniel Bruce Reed died last week and police said Friday that an autopsy hasn’t been completed. St. Pauls police Chief Thomas Hagens says autopsy results should be available Monday. He described the child’s death as suspicious. Hagens says paramedics responding to a 911 call notified police as they took the infant to the hospital where the boy died. The State Bureau of Investigation is helping in the investigation.

The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a reminder that those who suffered economic losses as a result of the disaster must apply for loans before Dec. 27. Several counties in northwestern North Carolina received a disaster declaration for winter storms that occurred between December 2009 and February of this year. The maximum loan amount for organizations that suffered substantial economic damage is $2 million.
State vets donate imprints to new park BY DAVID IRVINE The Daily Dispatch of Henderson
HENDERSON (AP) — The right hand that Edward Daniel “Ed” Blue raised when he took the oath of enlistment in 1960 will be part of a memorial to veterans when the North Carolina Veterans Park opens next July. With that oath, Blue became a private in the U.S. Army, the start of a career that continued until 1978, when he was discharged as a lieutenant colonel. Blue and three other veterans spent part of a Friday morning with their hands in molds to make bronze casts for the park. In addition, Blue’s wife, Betty, representing service families, had a mold made of her hand. The bronze representation of Blue’s hand will be one of 100, representing a veteran from each of the state’s counties. Blue was selected to represent his fellow veterans from Vance County.
Blue seemed humbled by the selection. “I like the idea of a memorial park, but there are heroes walking the street every day that nobody knows about,” he said, with tears in his eyes. “They ought to be recognized.” Alexis Joyner, an artist from Elizabeth City, and his wife, Robin, are making the bronze casts of veterans’ hands in 12 counties in eastern North Carolina. Other artists are doing the same for the other 88 counties. Blue sat with his hand lowered into a box, into which Joyner poured a creamy recipe of plaster. Joyner explained that when the plaster sets and Blue’s hand is removed, the cavity will be filled with molten wax. When that hardens, it will be sent to a foundry, where the bronze cast will be made. Using a somewhat different process, Joyner set molds around the hands of the other representatives. Phyllis May-
nard, Michael Ayscue, Andrew “Andy” Roberson and Betty Blue each placed a hand on a layer of clay inside a cardboard frame. Joyner poured a rubbery mixture over their hands. When it had dried, he followed with a mixture of plaster. While he waited for the plaster to set, Blue reflected on his military service. “My four brothers were in World War II and I was always interested in the military,” he said. So he joined the Army National Guard when he graduated from high school. In 1960, he went on active duty and attended Officer Candidate School, obtaining a commission as a second lieutenant. Over the next 18 years, he served at several posts in Germany and elsewhere, including two tours in Vietnam. Vance County Veterans Service Officer Sandra Grissom said the veterans were selected to represent Vance
County, not only for their military service but also their public service since being discharged. After leaving the service, Blue held the position of Veterans Service Officer for Vance County for over 10 years. In that capacity, he advised veterans, their families and dependents about their rights under various federal and state laws. Maynard served in the U.S. Navy between 1982 and 1989, attaining the rank of petty officer third class. She took part in the multinational peacekeeping force in Lebanon in addition to other assignments. Since leaving the service, she has worked on behalf of the local chapter of Disabled American Veterans. She was instrumental in obtaining a van to transport veterans to the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Durham and in helping to establish a new DAV chapter in Vance County.

Maynard was the first female veteran for whom she and her husband had made a hand cast in the four counties they have covered so far. Roberson served in Vietnam and has a 100 percent service-connected disability resulting from wounds he received when his unit was ambushed and hit with AK-47 fire and grenades. He dedicates much of his time to assisting veterans in filing claims for various benefits as well as providing moral support. Ayscue, of Louisburg, served almost 24 years in the Air Force, retiring as a master sergeant. He is a veteran of both the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. He is active in the Veterans of Foreign Wars and volunteers his time at job fairs and other community events. The North Carolina Veterans Park, located in Fayetteville, will be dedicated to the veterans of the state. Blue and Grissom will attend the opening ceremony on July 4.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s state parks are drawing visitors from as far away as Namibia and Sweden. A new reservation system that allows visitors to secure camping and picnic sites is also helping the state track information about users. The state says the system saw reservations from visitors in 16 countries last year. But the system shows that most visitors were North Carolinians who preferred short stays at parks near their homes. Jordan Lake State Recreation Area was by far the most popular destination for the year ending July 30. It was followed by Kerr Lake State Recreation Area, Hanging Rock, Stone Mountain and Carolina Beach. More than a quarter-million visitors used the new reservation system in its first full year of operation.

Authorities say teen hoped for mass casualties in bomb plot PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A Somali-born teenager plotted “a spectacular show” of terrorism for months, saying he didn’t mind that children would die if he bombed a crowded Christmas tree-lighting ceremony, according to a law-enforcement official and court documents. He never got the chance. Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, was arrested Friday in downtown Portland after using a cell phone to try to detonate what he thought were explosives in a van, prosecutors said. It turned out to be a dummy bomb put together by FBI agents, and authorities said the public was never in danger. The case is the latest in a string of alleged terrorist planning by U.S. citizens or residents, including a Times Square plot in which a Pakistan-born man pleaded guilty earlier this year to trying to set off a car bomb at a busy street corner. In the Portland plot, Mohamud believed he was receiving help from a larger ring of jihadists as he communicated with undercover agents, but a law enforcement official who wasn’t authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke on a condition of anonymity told The Associated Press that no foreign terrorist organization was directing him. The official said Mohamud planned the details, including where to park the van to hurt the most people. “I want whoever is attending that event to leave, to leave dead or injured,” Mohamud said, according to the affidavit. Thousands of people gathered Friday on a cold, clear night for the annual event at Pioneer Courthouse Square, a plaza known as “Portland’s living room.” Just 10 minutes before Mohamud’s 5:40 p.m. arrest, babies were sitting on shoulders, and children cheered at the first appearance of Santa Claus onstage. The tree-lighting went off without a hitch. Mohamud graduated from high school in Beaverton. He was enrolled at Oregon State University over the past year but withdrawing Oct. 6, the school said. The law enforcement official who spoke to the AP said agents began investigating Mohamud after receiving a tip from someone concerned about him. The official declined providing further more detail about the relationship between the two. The FBI monitored Mohamud’s e-mail and found he was in contact with people overseas, asking how he could travel to Pakistan and join the fight for jihad, according to an FBI affidavit. The law enforcement official said Mohamud e-mailed a friend living in Pakistan who had been a student in Oregon in 2007-2008 and been in Yemen as well.

Twenty-two of the lawsuits were filed against relatives of Madoff and his wife, trustee Irving H. Picard said. Eighteen lawsuits were filed against former employees of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, he said. Picard said his firm is seeking about $69 million in funds deposited by the company’s customers and stolen in the 72-year-old’s vast Ponzi scheme. Picard said the lawsuits were filed as part of an effort to recover funds from relatives and employees “who were closest to the center of the fraud and who were, in many cases, among those who benefited most from the Ponzi scheme.” Madoff is serving a 150year sentence in federal prison in North Carolina after confessing to the nearly twodecade scheme that ensnared thousands of victims.
hamud’s friend in Pakistan “had joined others involved in terrorist activities” and was inviting Mohamud to join him, according to the affidavit. For reasons unexplained, Mohamud tried to board a flight to Kodiak, Alaska, from Portland on June 14, wasn’t allowed to board and was interviewed by the FBI, the affidavit states. Mohamud told the FBI he wanted to earn money fishing and then travel to join “the brothers.” He said he had previously hoped to travel to Yemen but had never obtained a ticket or a visa. On June 23, an agent emailed Mohamud, pretending to be affiliated with the “unindicted associate.” The FBI’s affidavit said the friend in Pakistan referred him to another associate, but gave him an address Mohamud repeatedly tried emailing unsuccessfully. The official said FBI agents saw that as an opportunity and emailed in response, claiming to be associates of Mohamud’s friend, the former student. The affidavit said Mohamud was warned several times about the seriousness of his plan, that women and children could die, and that he could back out. But he told agents: “Since I was 15 I thought about all this,” and “It’s gonna be a fireworks show ... a spectacular show.” Mohamud, a naturalized U.S. citizen, was charged with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. A court appearance was set for Monday. Authorities allowed the plot to proceed to build up enough evidence to charge the suspect with attempt. White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said Saturday that President Barack Obama was aware of the FBI operation before Friday’s arrest. Shapiro said Obama was assured that the FBI was in full control of the operation, and the public was not in danger. Authorities said Mohamud sent bomb components to undercover FBI agents he believed were assembling the explosive device, but the agents supplied the fake bomb that Mohamud tried to detonate twice via his phone. The FBI affidavit said the undercover agent first met Mohamud in person on July 30 and asked what he would do for the cause of jihad, suggesting he might want to spread Islam to others, continue studies to help the cause overseas, raise money, become “operational” or become a martyr. Mohamud responded that he wanted to become “operational” but needed training, the affidavit said. When Mohamud was asked what he meant by “operational,” he responded that he wanted to put together an explosion, the affidavit said. The undercover agent said he could introduce him to an explosives expert and asked Mohamud to research potential

he had selected Pioneer Courthouse Square for the bombing. On Nov. 4, the court documents say, Mohamud made a video in the presence of one of the undercover agents, putting on clothes he described as “Sheik Osama style:” a white robe, red and white headdress, and camouflage jacket. He read a statement speaking of his dream of bringing “a dark day” on Americans and blaming his family for thwarting him, according to the court documents: “To my parents who held me back from Jihad in the cause of Allah. I say to them ... if you — if you make allies with the enemy, then Allah’s power ... will ask you about that on the day of judgment,
and nothing that you do can hold me back ...” Friday, an agent and Mohamud drove to Portland in a white van that carried six 55gallon drums with detonation cords and plastic caps, but all of them were inert, the complaint states. They left the van near the downtown ceremony site and went to a train station where Mohamud was given a cell phone that he thought would blow up the vehicle, according to the complaint. There was no detonation when he dialed, and when he tried again federal agents and police made their move. Two Oregon Muslim leaders held a Saturday evening news conference on the front steps of Portland City Hall to

In August, the U.S. Justice Department unsealed an indictment naming 14 people accused of being a deadly pipeline routing money and fighters from the U.S. to alShabab, an al-Qaida affiliated group in Mohamud’s native Somalia. FBI agent E.K. Wilson said there is no apparent connection between the bomb plot in Portland and the investigation into about 20 men who left Minneapolis to join al-Shabab in Somalia.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A day after it took 12 stitches to patch a busted lip President Barack Obama suffered during a game of pickup basketball, he was back on the hard court Saturday — as a spectator. Obama took the whole family to Howard University, where they watched the Oregon State Beavers defeat the Howard Bison, 8474. His brother-in-law, Craig Robinson, is the Oregon State coach. Obama paid close attention to the game, leaning forward in his seat at times. He occasionally munched popcorn or sipped bottled water, and at one point 9-year-old Sasha reached over and kissed her father on the cheek opposite his stitched lip. He stayed seated at halftime as spectators clustered around to snap photos of him. The president was injured Friday morning during a game of basketball with friends and family at Fort McNair in Washington when an opposing player’s elbow accidentally struck him in the mouth. Doctors stitched him up after he returned to the White House. The White House had said on Friday that it was Obama’s upper lip that needed stitches. But on Saturday afternoon, the White House said it had made a mistake and it was the left side of Obama’s lower lip that was sewn up. Among those playing hoops with Obama on Friday were Education Secretary Arne Duncan, a friend from Chicago. Duncan also joined the Obamas for Saturday’s game at Howard.

Gas prices rise over holidays The Associated Press
Many Americans are determined not to let higher gas be the Grinch that spoils their holiday spending plans. Gas prices on average have risen about 17 cents since Labor Day, following a $12 increase in oil prices. By one analyst’s estimate, that means Americans are spending around $68 million more on gas each day than in early September. While that sounds like a threat to sales of Barbies and iPods, on an individual basis the increase amounts to $3 or $4 extra to fill up a car. While the national average for gas of $2.86 per gallon is the highest it’s been at the start of the holiday shopping season in three years, it hardly hits drivers with the sticker shock of 2008 when gas topped $4 per gallon. The lackluster U.S. economy is in fact a reason that gas is high. It isn’t growing enough to get unemployed Americans back to work in meaningful numbers. The Federal Reserve’s plans to boost growth have decreased the value of the U.S. dollar. That made oil, priced in dollars, more attractive to holders of foreign currencies like the euro. Add strong demand from China and emerging markets like India, and oil rose from about $72 a barrel in early September to just above $88 a barrel earlier this month.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — For the second time, the Regional Medical Center in Memphis is selling an Elvis Presley license plate to benefit the hospital’s trauma training center. The MED Foundation has joined forces with Elvis Presley Enterprises to offer a $19.95 souvenir license plate through the foundation’s online store, the Memphis Daily News reported. After manufacturing costs, all the proceeds will benefit the regional hospital’s new Trauma Training and On-Call Center, scheduled to open at an undetermined date in December. It is the second time the foundation has offered an Elvis license plate, but the rules were different the first time around. The first Elvis plate was sold in 2005 as an authentic license plate. It generated hundreds of phone calls from as far as Germany and Japan, but it was only available to licensed Tennessee drivers. The souvenir plate is available to anyone who wants to purchase it through the foundation’s online store. “We realized there was obviously a demand for something similar to the authentic plate for fans worldwide,” said Tammie Ritchey, executive director of The MED Foundation. The authentic Elvis plates raised more than $100,000 for the Elvis Presley Memorial Trauma Center, the only level-one trauma center in a 150mile radius. The funds were used to purchase equipment and train staff. Money from the authentic plate also was used to build the Trauma and On-Call Training Center, which is getting a boost from the souvenir plate as well.

Effort to restore WWII ship likely to default on loan COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A $9.2 million loan default expected Wednesday by South Carolina’s naval museum for repairs to the World War II destroyer USS Laffey has state officials irked about promises the Patriot Point Development Authority made a year ago that it has no way to keep. That authority has no way to repay the money and that has state financial leaders questioning its credibility. “I think there’s been one of those for quite a while — a credibility problem. I would say that would just compound it,” House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dan Cooper said Wednesday of the coming default. “We fully intend to satisfy that $9 million loan. It just can’t be done on Dec. 1,” said Mac Burdette, executive director of the Patriots Point Development Authority. The authority borrowed the money for repairs in June 2009 amid fears that the destroyer sailors dubbed “The Ship That Would Not Die” would sink in a hurricane because its hull was leaking — and that asbestos and pollution inside it would contaminate Charleston’s waters. State Comptroller General Richard Eckstrom says the authority is breaking a promise in a deal that should never have been struck. “It’s a decision that was made with the heart and not with the head,” said Eckstrom, who argued last year against approving the loan from the state insurance reserve fund because it relied too much on the hope of federal spending. At the time, Patriots Point expected federal money to cover the loan with help from U.S. Reps. Henry Brown and U.S. House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn. A clampdown on federal earmarks and change in control of the House has few expecting money now. “I don’t think the solution is going to be at the federal level, either,” Burdette said. Burdette said not paying the loan won’t affect operations at the harbor-front museum that features the carrier USS Yorktown and subma-

She served as a Deacon, Sunday School teacher, Children's Choir leader, helped with the church's benevolent programs, and many more positions of service.

Cargo plane crashes into housing complex
US, South Korea push ahead with war games The artillery sound and the evacuation came just hours after South Korea and the United States launched joint military drills near the area. The exercises came as the North worked to justify one of the worst assaults on South Korean territory since the 1950-53 Korean War. North Korea said civilians were used as a “human shield” around artillery positions and lashed out at what it called a “propaganda campaign” against Pyongyang. It claimed the United States orchestrated last Tuesday’s clash so that it could stage joint naval exercises in the Yellow Sea with the South that include a U.S. nuclear powered supercarrier — enraging the North and making neighboring China uneasy. Also Sunday, a Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo

Boys recount how they survived 50 days adrift SUVA, Fiji (AP) — For more than 50 days, the three boys slurped rainwater that puddled in the bottom of their tiny boat, gobbled flying fish that leaped aboard and prayed for salvation. Etueni Nasau and his two cousins almost gave up hope they would survive as they bobbed in their aluminum dinghy across the South Pacific for more than seven weeks, before a fishing trawler spotted them by chance and brought an end to their extraordinary ordeal. “I thank God for keeping us alive all this while, while were drifting out in open sea,” Nasau, 14, told The Associated Press. “We prayed every day that someone will find us and rescue us. We thought we would die.” In a shy, quiet voice, Nasau spoke Saturday from his hospital bed in Fiji, where the trio were brought a day earlier and quickly treated for dehydration, bad sunburn and malnourishment. Nasau, also known as Edward, and his two 15-year-old cousins, Samuel Pelesa and
Filo Filo, jumped into the 12foot-long boat, known locally as a “tinnie,” sometime in late September — Nasau couldn’t remember the date — to make what they thought was a short journey between islands in their archipelago home of Tokelau. But they ran out of fuel for their outboard motor and began drifting out to sea. As land retreated from sight, they contemplated the handful of coconuts they had brought with them to snack on — and the little else in the boat. Day after day, the teens sat helpless in the open craft under a beating tropical sun, scouring the horizon for signs of land or a passing boat. On many nights, rainstorms churned the sea and lashed the boat. The boys threw themselves to the bottom of the boat, clutching the sides and trying to keep it from capsizing. Though terrifying, the storms also brought a lifeline: puddles of rainwater for them to sip. They ran out of food all too quickly, and increasingly
aged or destroyed though most were under construction and believed to be unoccupied, locals said. The Sudan-bound plane crashed about 1:50 a.m., when many people in the upscale neighborhood of Pakistan’s largest city were asleep. One of the plane’s engines was on fire, several witnesses said. Many people initially thought the blast was from a bomb, a regular event in militant-torn Pakistan.
feared starvation. The sea provided meager pickings in the form of fish that leaped out of the water and sometimes landed in the boat. “We ate flying fish, very small ones that jump into our boat, about five inches,” said Nasau, looking thin and weak, but relieved. “The last time we ate one was last week if I recall.” Once, a bird perched on the boat and Pelesa managed to snatch it with his bare hands. The hungry boys tore at the bird and shared the meat, raw. In the days before their rescue, the nighttime storms stopped and the boys became desperately thirsty. They began drinking small amounts of sea water. One night, the boys’ hopes for rescue soared when they spotted lights they thought must be a ship, then plunged again when they realized that they had no light and that those on board would never see them in the dark. Last Wednesday, at least 55 days into the boys’ ordeal, the deep-sea tuna boat San Nikuna came into view on its way

to its home port in New Zealand — this time during the day. The boys had drifted more than 800 miles from Tokelau. The three are expected to be flown to Samoa on Monday. They would then have to wait two weeks for a boat to take them back to their homeland, New Zealand’s TV3 reported on Saturday. News of the boys’ survival was greeted as a miracle in Tokelau, a deeply Christian archipelago north of Samoa.

YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea (AP) — North Korean artillery was heard Sunday on the frontline South Korean island attacked last week, though no shells landed on the island, South Korea’s military said. One artillery round was heard from a North Korean military base north of the sea border dividing the two Koreas, an official with South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said. He spoke on condition of anonymity, citing office rules. Residents of Yeonpyeong Island were ordered to take shelter because of the sound, he said. The evacuation order was later lifted. Four South Koreans died last week after the North rained artillery on the small Yellow Sea island, which is home to both fishing communities and military bases.

Most agree extending Bush-era tax cuts will help weakened economy WASHINGTON (AP) — On this, economists agree: Extending tax cuts passed under President George W. Bush for low- and middle-income people would strengthen the weak economy. The question is what to do about the highest-paid 3 percent of taxpayers. Should Congress let their tax cuts expire at year’s end as scheduled? Extend them for only a while? Or make them permanent?
It isn’t just a debate over how much money high-income Americans should get to keep. It’s about how much their tax cuts might aid the economy. And how much they’ll affect the budget deficit later. But first, consider what would happen next year if Congress let the tax cuts for everyone expire as scheduled. According to Moody’s Analytics, the deficit would drop to $732 billion. That’s well below the $1.3 tril-
lion deficit for the budget year that ended Sept. 30. At the same time, the economy would suffer, Moody’s says: Growth would tail off to just 0.9 percent next year. That’s scarcely more than a recessionary pace. And unemployment would average 10.7 percent next year. That’s because higher taxes would leave people with less money to spend. Businesses would be less
inclined to hire. Economic growth would slide. Yet if Democrats and Republicans can’t reach a deal during the post-election lame-duck session that began this month, taxes will rise across the board in January. Republicans triumphant in the midterm elections insist that everyone, regardless of income, should continue to enjoy the tax cuts. President Barack Obama wants to extend the tax cuts for individu-
als with taxable incomes below $200,000 a year and couples with incomes below $250,000. He has long argued that income above those levels should be taxed at the higher rates that existed before 2001. Yet since his party suffered major losses in the elections, Obama has signaled a willingness to compromise. The White House has indicated he is open to a one- or two-year extension but opposes a permanent extension.

Cutshaw said they use the photographs for a family Christmas card. “It’s so pretty,” Cutshaw said of the Bell Tower setting. For almost 10 years, Downtown Salisbury Inc. has brought the stars of Christmas to the Bell Tower so families can take their own photographs for greeting cards or whatever. “It’s pretty good,” said Krissie Cox, who brought her 5-year-old daughter, Melody, to the free event. “It works, plus it’s not all that busy.” Frost Bites provided the refreshments, which included cookies, hot cider and hot chocolate. Families also could enter drawings for Downtown Dollars. Children had the chance to make their own Christmas decorations and wear “Downtown Dear” antlers. Downtown Salisbury Inc. also posted pictures on its Web site at www.DowntownSalisburyNC.com. Innes Street Drug Co., a main sponsor, also was giving away free slushies. “It has become a tradition with a lot of people,” DSI Executive Director Randy Hemann said of the Bell Tower gathering. “We have been blessed with this kind of weather (most every year).” Laura Phelps of Cleveland described the event as laid back — and free. “That’s the big thing,” she said. “It’s hard to get anything for free these days.” When they left their home Saturday morning, Phelps told her daughters, 6-year-old Samantha and 3-year-old Hannah, they were going on “a Santa search.” Santa has been busy this year.

Hotel atop Ohio River bridge a unique project in Kentucky COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A planned hotel and retail complex that will sit atop a pedestrian bridge over the Ohio River has many hurdles to leap before it can become a reality, officials said. The proposed $100 million project, which would include a hotel named Point Isabella, would be the first of its kind in the nation, and developers tout it as a vibrant tourist attraction. The developer, DW Real Estate, has yet to open up about its plans for the railroadthemed project beyond conceptual plans, The Kentucky Enquirer reported. The project would sit on the Purple People Bridge, formerly called the L&N Railroad Bridge. Wally Pagan, CEO of bridge owner Newport Southbank Bridge Co., said letters of intent have been signed for a 90-room hotel and three
restaurants. But engineers must still perform stress tests to determine the maximum load the bridge can hold, and it’s unclear how the developers plan to pay for the project. “The crux of this issue for us is, ‘Can we make this viable?’, and we’re not sure yet. They need to prove to us that they can do it,” Pagan said of the developers. The bridge is actually two separate truss bridges lined up side by side. The first was built in 1872 to transport railroad cars. The second was added in 1896 for wagon traffic. “Railroad bridges of that vintage were very robust. They were built with stronger structural components than they needed to allow for the fact that they may not be maintained after they were built,” said Fred Craig, vice president for Parsons Brinckerhoff, lead engineer for the project.

But the Terps (8-4, 5-3) rallied behind O’Brien, who made up for a running game that finished with negative yardage.

I don’t think they fully comprehend what a great year they’ve really had, when you look at eight wins, the history of our school and how many times it’s been done.” That was of no consolation to the Wolfpack in the wake of such a devastating defeat. “We had a chance to contend for the ACC title. We lost it,” linebacker Nate Irving said. “We didn’t step up to the plate like we should have,” defensive tackle J.R. Sweezy said.

CLEVELAND — When quarterback Jake Delhomme stepped inside Cleveland’s huddle at practice this week and barked out a play, it was as if he had never left. The Browns had come full circle in 2010. “It was like friends reuniting,” left tackle Joe Thomas said. Today, the Carolina Panthers will feel the same way. They still consider Delhomme one of their own. Waived by Carolina after seven seasons, Delhomme will go against his former team for the first time as the Browns (3-7), needing a victory after consecutive heartbreaking losses, host the Panthers (1-9), who may need a miraculous finish to save coach John Fox’s job. This will be Delhomme’s first start since Sept. 12. It has taken the 35-year-old the better part of two months to recover from a high ankle sprain he first sustained in the opener at Tampa Bay, then reinjured four weeks later when he came in to replace Seneca Wallace, who went down with the same dreaded injury. Now Delhomme is starting again, but only because impressive rookie Colt McCoy suffered a — you guessed it — high ankle sprain and is out indefinitely. “We might be cursed,” Wallace said, half-joking. Cleveland’s opening-week lineup: Delhomme as the starter, Wallace as his backup, and McCoy as the inactive understudy is again in place. The Browns’ QB carousel has made a full, albeit unorthodox, rotation. Stepping way out of character, Cleveland coach Eric Mangini did not wait until game time before making Delhomme his starter.

Air Sherrill West QB on verge of breaking Sturdivant’s TD record BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
MOUNT ULLA — West Rowan’s B.J. Sherrill is approaching a county record that once seemed as untouchable as Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak. Sherrill’s five first-half touchdown passes in Friday’s 48-28 win against Concord lifted his threeyear total to 64. North quarterback Mario Sturdi-
vant set the county mark with 65 TD tosses from 1997-99. Sturdivant, who played in 34 games in his career, had 25 scoring passes as a sophomore, 17 as a junior, and 23 as a SHERRILL senior. Est’s C.M. Yates threw 50 TD passes from 1968-70, numbers that were revolutionary
for the era, and Hall of Fame teammate Johnny Yarbrough made 43 TD receptions, a county mark that still looks unapproachable. North’s Mitch Ellis, in a two-year varsity career, matched Yates’ 50 TD passes. Ellis’ senior season in 1994, in which he completed 63 percent of his throws, was mind-boggling — 2,945 yards, 25 TDs, only seven picks. Of course, those were the wideopen “Airport” days at North, and
Singler goes home
Roger Secreast’s Cavaliers threw it all night long. Ellis had 42 passing attempts against Thomasville and 38 against West Stanly. Sturdivant came along not long after Ellis, and North kept winging. “Super Mario” often put it in the air 35 times. Now we have Sherrill, who may be enjoying the most efficient season any Rowan QB has ever had.

EUGENE, Ore. — The game between top-ranked Duke 98 Duke and Oregon Oregon 71 was merely a formality for the first oncourt meeting of Blue Devils star Kyle Singler and his little brother E.J., a sophomore forward for the Ducks. And for Kyle, it was even more: His first chance to play in his home state since leaving for Durham. “Every moment I was out there I was trying to soak it all in,” the elder Singler brother said. “Trying to look at the signs, trying to find the people I knew in the stands. I was focused in and trying to win, but the environment was great.” He made the most of it, with 30 points and five rebounds to lead Duke to a 98-71 victory Saturday.
The game was dubbed by one fan as “The Singler Mingler.” The brothers grew up in Medford, Ore., about 275 miles to the south of where the game was played at the Rose Garden. The eventual outcome didn’t much matter when the brothers hugged tightly after the game. “It was definitely fun,” E.J. Singler said. “One of the funnest games I’ve ever played in.” The younger Singler scored 14 points, all in the second half, for Oregon (4-2). It was the first time the Singlers played against each other, and the first time they were on the same court in a real game since they led South Medford High School to the state championship in 2007. Kyle Singler, the taller and heavier of the two at 6-foot-8 and 230 pounds,

Scott Wood scored all 12 of his points in the second half for the Wolfpack (4-1), who made six of their first seven 3-point attempts after halftime. DeShawn Painter tied a career high with 12 points for N.C. State. Wood made four 3-pointers in the first seven minutes of the second half, including three in a four-possession span to douse a rally by the Knights. Terence Grier scored a career-high 23 points to lead
Fairleigh Dickinson (0-3). Mathias Seilund had 13 points and Mike Scott added 11 points, a career-high 10 rebounds and nine assists for the Knights. Fairleigh Dickinson opened the second half with a 9-3 run to cut N.C. State’s lead to 4238 with 16:25 remaining, but the Wolfpack answered with a 10-0 run that included the start of Wood’s 3-point flurry. Wood made back-to-back 3s from the top of the key, then followed a free throw by Painter with a 3-pointer from the left wing to put the Wolfpack ahead 52-38 with 13:15 left.

The NBA roundup ... WASHINGTON — Dwight Howard scored a season-high 32 points, including the game-winning putback with 4.3 seconds left, and had 11 rebounds to give the Orlando Magic a 100-99 win over the Washington Wizards on Saturday night. Quentin Richardson scored 20 for the Magic, who have won seven of their last eight games in Washington. Gilbert Arenas scored a season-high 31 points, but his floater at the buzzer hit the back of the rim and bounced away. Arenas scored all nine of Washington’s points in the final four minutes. Nick Young scored 21 points, and Andray Blatche scored 10 points and had 13 rebounds for the Wizards, who ended a three-game home winning streak.

It's the third time in just over a year the 49ers’ second-leading scorer from has been disciplined. The school announced just before Saturday's game against Radford that the senior transfer from Boston College wouldn't play. Spears, a Salisbury nastive, wasn't on the bench for the game. Spears was benched in the second half of Wednesday's loss to Oregon State and posted on Twitter after the game that he was contemplating quitting the team. The 6-foot-6 Spears is averaging 17 points and 3.2 rebounds. Spears sat out the 49ers' opener in each of the last two seasons for breaking unspecified team rules. Charlotte 73, Radford 52 CHARLOTTE — Chris Braswell scored 18 points, Phil Jones added 16 and they combined to make their first 13 shots in leading Charlotte past Radford 73-52 on Saturday night. Braswell shot 7 of 8 and Jones was 7 for 7 for the 49ers (3-4). Charlotte overcame its lack of depth by dominating inside to snap a two-game losing streak.

Crucitti. Sherrill finished his sophomore season with 15 TD passes. He bumped it to 20 TDs as a junior, even though the Falcons mostly rode the amazing Parks to their second straight 3A title. Three receivers accounted for all of Sherrill’s TD throws in 2009 — Crucitti, KaJuan Phillips and tight end Patrick Hampton. Crucitti (14 TDs) was Sherrill’s all-time favorite target. The Falcons have explored a bevy of receiving options this year. Hampton, who has been the finisher for 12 of Sherrill’s TDs, is the only real veteran, but he’s just one of eight Falcons with a TD catch this season. Taylor Garczynski caught TD pass No. 50 against East Rowan, while Daishion Barger caught No. 60 against Concord. West plays host to Hibriten this Friday, and fans may get to see a tremendous record tied or broken.

The NFL investigation determined Steve Scarnecchia took a six-minute video of the walkthrough and presented it that day to McDaniels. The coach declined to view it. Still, the NFL fined both the coach and team because the matter was not promptly reported, as required by the league. Scarnecchia was also involved in the NFL's last videotaping scandal, dubbed Spygate. After the Patriots were caught videotaping New York Jets coaches sending in signals during a 2007 game, the league's investigation determined New England had violated rules over several seasons. Scarnecchia, who had left the Patriots by the time they were caught, was found to have taken part in the videotaping when he worked for the team in the early 2000s. Scarnecchia was notified by Commissioner Roger Goodell that, as a repeat violator of league rules regarding the integrity of the game, he faced a hearing to determine if he would be banned from the NFL.
• NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans Saints defensive end Will Smith was arrested Saturday in Louisiana after he was accused of grabbing his wife's hair and pulling her down the street. Police in Lafayette, which is about 50 miles west of Baton Rouge, said Smith and his wife had gotten into an argument just after 2 a.m. while leaving a nightclub. Police Cpl. Paul Mouton said in a press release that officers on patrol saw the argument escalate, and then saw Smith grab the woman's hair. • ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Redskins waived 39-year-old Joey Galloway on Saturday. Galloway had 12 catches for 173 yards in his first season with the Redskins, his fifth NFL team since entering the league as a first-round draft choice in 1995. Galloway has 701 catches for 10,950 yards and 77 touchdowns in his career.
NBA CLEVELAND — Cavaliers coach Byron Scott said he expects to be fined by the NBA after criticizing officials following a loss at Orlando. After Cleveland's 110-100 loss on Friday, Scott criticized officials Ed Malloy, Bennie Adams and Kevin Fehr. He bemoaned having to play a team where "there's five white jerseys and three with stripes. ... It's hard when
you're playing against eight people."
GOLF UBAI, United Arab Emirates — Ian Poulter broke free from a crowded leaderboard Saturday to take a twoshot lead into the final round of the Dubai World Championship. The Englishman was at 12-under after a third-round 69, two shots ahead of Ross Fisher of England, Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee and Francesco Molinari of Italy, who all were at 10-under.
TENNIS LONDON — Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray relentlessly ran each other all over the court for more than three hours in a match that flipflopped throughout. Nadal finally got the breaks he needed Saturday to win 7-6 (5), 3-6, 7-6 (6). The top-ranked Spaniard had to overcome a mid-match slump to reach his first final at the ATP World Tour Finals, where he will face 16-time major champion Roger Federer. The reigning French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open champion has never before played in the final of the season-ending event for the top eight players. And to win his first title, he'll have to play four-time champion Federer today at the O2 Arena.

His 3-pointer midway through the first half put the Blue Devils up 20-7. Duke went up 31-12 in the first half on Miles Plumlee’s alley-oop dunk. The Ducks narrowed it to 33-23 later in the period, but Duke led 40-25 at halftime. E.J. Singler had two fouls and no points in the first half. His lone attempt from the field was an airball. The younger Singler, at 66 and 210 pounds, was averaging 11.6 points and 5.2 rebounds going into the game.

Michigan State shares Big 10 championship Associated Press
The Top 25 roundup ... STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Michigan State marched off the field toward their sliver of boisterous, green-clad fans savoring a memorable trip to chilly Happy Valley. The 11th-ranked Spartans were headed home with a share of their first Big Ten title for the first time in two decades. Edwin Baker ran for 118 yards and a touchdown, quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 152 yards and two touchdowns to B.J. Cunnigham, and the defense held off a fourth-quarter charge by penalty-prone Penn State for a 28-22 win at blustery Beaver Stadium. "We're Big Ten champions. No one can ever take it away from us," Cousins said. "It's going on the wall at Spartan Stadium." However, the Spartans (11-1, 7-1) still have to wait and see whether it's good enough for the Rose Bowl. No. 8 Ohio State beat Michigan on Saturday, while No. 5 Wisconsin routed Northwestern. Since all three teams finished with identical records, the Bowl Championship Series standings would be break the tie — and the Spartans came into the week trailing their Big Ten rivals. Stoic as ever, coach Mark Dantonio put the spotlight on the hard-earned conference title. "Our goal was to win the championship. That's our No. 1 goal," he said. "Where people place us from there, we'll still go to whatever bowl we go to as Big Ten champions." Penn State (7-5, 4-4) scored 19 fourth-quarter points, and fans had dreams of an unlikely comeback after Matt McGloin found Derek Moye for a 4-yard touchdown pass with 56 seconds left. Michigan State recovered the ensuing onsides kick to finally seal the win after leading 14-3 at halftime, No. 4 TCU 66, New Mexico 17 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes before leaving with an elbow injury and TCU capped its second straight undefeated regular season with a second consecutive Mountain West championship. The next stop for the BCS-busting Horned Frogs could very well be the Rose Bowl. TCU (12-0, 8-0 Mountain West) has been jockeying with Boise State for a possible BCS appearance and got a major boost from Nevada, which knocked off the previously unbeaten Broncos on Friday night to clear the Frogs an easier path to Pasadena. No. 5 Wisconsin 70, Northwestern 23 MADISON, Wis. — Montee Ball rushed for 178 yards and four touchdowns and the Badgers earned a share of the Big Ten championship. The Badgers (11-1, 7-1) made it four straight wins by 20 points or more — and it wasn’t even the most lopsided game in that stretch, because Wisconsin beat Indiana 83-20 on Nov. 13. It also was the third time this season the Badgers scored 70 points or more. No. 7 Stanford 38, Oregon State 0 STANFORD, Calif. — Andrew Luck threw four touchdown passes to set a single-season school record and Stanford stated its case for a berth in the Bowl Championship Series. Stepfan Taylor ran for 115 yards and a touchdown and Doug Baldwin caught two TD passes for the Cardinal (11-1, 8-1 Pac-10), who set a school record for wins with an emphatic close to the regular season. The Beavers (5-6, 4-4) need to beat the Ducks at home next Saturday to make it to a bowl game for a school-record fifth consecutive season. No. 15 Missouri 35, Kansas 7 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Blaine Gabbert directed scoring drives on the Tigers’ first two possessions and later scored on a 1-yard run in the 119th edition of college football’s second-oldest rivalry. De’Vion Moore scored two touchdowns for the Tigers (102, 6-2 Big 12). No. 23 Utah 17, BYU 16 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Brandon Burton blocked a lastsecond field goal to lift Utah to a wild victory against BYU in their final game as Mountain West Conference rivals. Mitch Payne had already kicked three field goals for BYU and was lined up for the game-winning 42-yarder. But Burton came up big for the Utes (10-2, 7-1), who likely are headed to the Las Vegas Bowl. BYU (6-6, 5-2) at one point had a 13-0 lead. Minnesota 27, No. 24 Iowa 24 MINNEAPOLIS — Duane Bennett’s touchdown run with 4:31 left lifted Minnesota to its first victory against Iowa in four years. DeLeon Eskridge had 95 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries for Minnesota (3-9, 2-6 Big Ten), which outmuscled Iowa on both sides of the line of scrimmage. Freshman Marcus Coker carried 21 times for 90 yards for Iowa (7-5, 4-4). No. 25 Mississippi State 31, Mississippi 23 OXFORD, Miss. — Chris Relf threw for a career-high 288 yards and three touchdowns as Mississippi State won the Egg Bowl. Mississippi State (8-4, 4-4 SEC) won for the first time in Oxford since 1998. Masoli led Ole Miss (4-8, 1-7) with 261 yards passing, one touchdown and one interception.
CLEMSON, S.C. — Steve Spurrier has already led South CarS. Carolina 29 olina to a landmark 7 season — and there’s Clemson still so much left for the Gamecocks to accomplish. Stephen Garcia threw for two touchdowns, Alshon Jeffery had his seventh 100-yard receiving game this year and South Carolina headed into the Southeastern Conference title game with a rousing 29-7 victory over rival Clemson on Saturday night. “We’ve done some firsts this year,” said Spurrier, in his sixth-year as South Carolina’s coach. “There’s another first out there we’re going to try to do next.” The Gamecocks have finished with a flourish. They won at Florida for the first time to win the SEC East, scored the most points in Spurrier’s tenure against Troy, then won back-to-back games in the Palmetto State’s defining rivalry for the first time since 1968-70. Spurrier won six SEC crowns at Florida from 1990-2001 and has longed to return to the Georgia Dome with the Gamecocks. He’ll get that chance next week against No. 2 Auburn.
“The mental attitude has really changed since Arkansas,” a 41-20 defeat three weeks ago, Spurrier said. That showed at Death Valley. Despite giving up a 45-yard touchdown pass to Clemson’s DeAndre Hopkins, South Carolina recovered to hold the Tigers scoreless the game’s last 58 minutes. Jeffery finished with five catches for 141 yards had a 37-yard score, Spencer Lanning had three field goals and Antonio Allen had the defense’s third score in the past two weeks with a 37-yard interception return. “Man, this is a great win,” Jeffery said. “Something we can take off and just build from it.” The Gamecocks (9-3) have only won nine games twice before in 117 seasons of football, going 10-2 in 1984 and 9-3 in 2001. And their passing game, led by Garcia and star wideout Jeffery, gave Auburn’s secondary something to worry for next week. “We’re confident, but we’ve got to stay focused and learn from the last time we played,” Jeffery said. That was back on Sept. 25 when South Carolina led 27-21 entering the fourth quarter at Auburn, yet fell 35-27 in what would become a season of Tigers come-

backs. Garcia was yanked in favor of backup Connor Shaw, who was intercepted twice when the driving the Gamecocks for a tying score. Asked what he remembered about the benching, Garcia said “I kind of forgot about that right after the game.” Clemson (6-6) was held to 155 yards through three quarters while the game was still in reach. “To lose to USC is very unacceptable,” Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said. “Our future is bright, but it’s awful dark right now.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio — In the 107 ediOhio St. 37 tions of the Michigan 7 MichiganOhio State rivalry, things have never been this bad for the Wolverines. No wonder coach Rich Rodriguez is mad. “I’m ticked, he said, moments after his Wolverines got blown out 37-7 on Saturday — an unprecedented seventh straight loss to the Buckeyes. “What do you want me to do? Hold hands with all the Buckeye fans and sing ‘Kumbaya’?” Might as well. Nothing else seems to work for the Wolverines these days against their archrivals. They fell to 0-3 against Ohio State under Rodriguez, and have been outscored 100-24 in that span. It was enough to make even Ohio State coach Jim Tressel offer some consolation. “You know, we all have our ups and downs,” he said after improving to 9-1 against Michigan. “But Michigan will be back. You don’t have to worry about that.” Jordan Hall broke things open with an 85-yard kickoff return and the Buckeyes defense shut down the Wolverines’ vaunted offense.

Michigan’s rich rodriguez isn’t a happy man. celebrate: A share of a record-tying sixth Big Ten title and, most likely, a Bowl Championship Series bowl berth. Some say the Buckeyes take the rivalry more seriously than do the Wolverines. “First and foremost, it’s important to never lose to Michigan as a Buckeye, which is unusual,” said linebacker Ross Homan. “To end up with five rings from championships is another accolade. It’s a dream come true.” Meanwhile, Michigan (7-5, 3-5) will prepare for a secondtier bowl game and hope for better days. The Wolverines started more freshmen (four) than seniors (three). “I worry about my future everyday,” said Rodriguez, asked about rumors that his job was in jeopardy. “It’s been a lot slower (coming) than I wanted, a lot slower than our fans wanted. I don’t blame them for that. But I’m not deterred by it.” The crowd serenaded the teams with “We Don’t Give A Damn For the Whole State of Michigan” throughout the final quarter.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — B o b b y Arkansas 31 P e t r i n o 23 saved his LSU toughest call for Arkansas’ biggest game of the season. Petrino went for it on fourth-and-3 in the fourth quarter on Saturday and Ryan Mallett made the move pay off with a 39-yard touchdown pass to Joe Adams. The play paved the way for the No. 12 Razorbacks’ 31-23 win over No. 6 LSU, and it kept alive Arkansas’ chances for the school’s first BCS bowl bid. “We didn’t come to paint,” Petrino said. “We came to win the game.” The Razorbacks (10-2, 62 Southeastern Conference) led 21-20 early in the fourth quarter when their drive appeared to stall at the LSU 39. After a timeout, Adams lined up in the left slot and used a stop-and-go move to get behind Tigers’ defender Tyrann Mathieu. Mallett, who threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns, lofted the ball perfectly over Mathieu to Adams for the touchdown. The play gave the Razorbacks a 28-20 lead, one they held onto thanks to a dominant running game that featured 153 yards rushing by Knile Davis against the SEC’s top defense. “It’s a play we’ve been working on since LSU last year,” Mallett said. “I could have checked out of that play, but it was man cover-
age and Joe made a great play to make his man miss.” Arkansas finishes second in the SEC West and could be on its way to the Sugar Bowl. The Razorbacks likely still need Auburn to win the SEC championship next week against South Carolina, but losses by Alabama and Boise State on Friday helped its case. Mallett finished 13 of 23 passing and had touchdown passes of 85 and 80 yards in the first half. He broke the school record for career touchdown passes with an 85-yard bullet to Cobi Hamilton in the second quarter, topping Clint Stoerner’s 57. Mallett now has 60 touchdown passes in two seasons at Arkansas, which has won six straight after a loss at No. 2 Auburn on Oct. 16. The 80-yard touchdown pass was also to Hamilton, and it came on the final play of the first half. It was the first play of a drive that Arkansas started after an LSU punt with 6 seconds remaining before halftime, and it gave the Razorbacks a 21-14 lead. “I would have liked to have had the (field goal) before the half, and who would have thought they would hit the long ball like they did for the score,” LSU coach Les Miles said. “Certainly not I.” The Tigers (10-2, 6-2) never led against the Razorbacks and were outgained 464-294. Jordan Jefferson passed for 184 yards and ran for 34 yards, but LSU’s inconsistent season on offense continued.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Christian Ponder threw for 221 yards and Fla. State 31 three touchdowns Saturday Florida 7 to lead coach Jimbo Fisher and No. 22 Florida State to a 31-7 win over Florida that snapped a six-game losing streak by the Seminoles. Ponder connected with Rodney Smith, Taiwan Easterling and Willie Haulstead on scoring plays covering 39, 15 and 29 yards respectively in his final home game. The Seminoles (9-3, 6-2 ACC) put the game away with a 21-point second quarter, getting three touchdowns in just over nine minutes to take a 24-7 halftime lead. Florida (7-5, 4-4 SEC) capped its worst regular season under Urban Meyer with its first loss to FSU since Meyer took over in
Gainesville in 2005. Meyer’s dominance against Florida State was one of the major reasons Bobby Bowden was forced out last season. The Gators were awful Saturday, committing four turnovers and scoring only on their opening drive. John Brantley’s 21-yard touchdown to Robert Clark was set up by Anre DuBose’s 62-yard kickoff return. Florida had won the last three in the series by an average of 30 points. The Seminoles’ 24point winning margin was its largest over Florida since a 52-17 victory in 1988. Florida State’s 9-3 finish is its best since 2003, the last time the Seminoles beat the Gators.

Hokies head to title game with win streak
NOTRE DAME-USC LOS ANGELES — Robert Hughes scored on a 5-yard run with 2:23 to play, and Notre Dame rallied to snap an eightgame losing streak in college football’s best intersectional rivalry with a 20-16 victory over Southern California. Freshman quarterback Tommy Rees overcame four turnovers to lead bowl-bound Notre Dame’s decisive 77-yard go-ahead drivein its first win over USC since 2001. The Irish weren’t safe on a cold, rainy night at the Coliseum — even after USC’s Ronald Johnson dropped a long pass from Mitch Mustain at the Notre Dame 15 with 1:17 to play and no defender within 10 yards of him. Mustain, making his first USC start in place of injured Matt Barkley, shook off the drop to move the Trojans to the Notre Dame 23, but safety Harrison Smith intercepted a poor throw at the goal line with 36 seconds left.

BLACKSBURG, Va. — Virginia Tech showed there’s no Va. Tech 37 question the Hokies Virginia 7 are the best team in the state. Ryan Williams and David Wilson scored two touchdowns apiece and the No. 13 Hokies won their 10th consecutive game — and seventh in a row over Virginia — 37-7 on Saturday. After starting slow, as they have all season, the Hokies got untracked with the help of big plays on defense and special teams and beat the Cavaliers for the
11th time in 12 games. Frank Beamer’s Hokies became the only Division I program in the country to have won at least 10 games in each of the past seven seasons. Eddie Whitley provided the first spark, intercepting Marc Verica on the second play of the second quarter, setting up Williams’ first touchdown, and Bruce Taylor and Jeron GouveiaWinslow provided the second, stopping Colter Phillips on a fake-punt pass completion. “We kind of needed that because we weren’t doing anything on offense,” Williams said of his 5-yard scoring run.
Whitley had returned the interception 19 yards to the Virginia 5. The score was still just 7-0 at that point, but the lead doubled four plays later. Taylor hit Wilson with a swing pass that he took down the right sideline, dodging several tacklers and then lunging with the ball to reach the end zone. Taylor threw for 176 yards and a touchdown and became the career passing yardage leader for the Hokies (10-2, 8-0 ACC). Virginia Tech also became the first team to finish the regular season unbeaten in ACC play since Florida State in 2000.

Chanticleers lose opener Associated Press
CONWAY, S.C. — Quarterback Matt Barr’s second rushing touchdown of the game with 1:50 remaining gave Western Illinois a 17-10 victory over Coastal Carolina on Saturday in the first round of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. The Leathernecks (8-4), who finished second in the Missouri Valley Conference, will play at top-seeded Appalachian State on Dec. 4. Barr’s 5-yard winning score came three plays after he threw a 38-yard pass to Bryce Flowers moved the ball to the Coastal Carolina 7-yard line. The Chanticleers (6-6), who finished in a three-way tie for the Big South Conference title, then drove to the Western Illinois 4, aided by two major penalties, before Kieron James picked off a pass by Zach MacDowall. MacDowall was intercepted four times in the game, and Coastal Carolina also lost a fumble. Western Illinois was intercepted twice. Georgia Southern 41, South Carolina State 16 STATESBORO, Ga. — Georgia Southern lost starting quarterback Jaybo Shaw to injury in the first quarter, but it didn't matter as the Eagles routed South Carolina State 4116 Saturday in a first-round Football Championship Subdivision game. Georgia Southern (8-4) ran for 323 yards on 77 carries against a defense that had been giving up only 70.4 yards per game on the ground, best in the FCS. The Eagles, who kept possession for 41:40, will play at No. 2 seed William & Mary on Dec. 4. At times, the Bulldogs (9-3), who lost in the first round for the third straight year, were their own worst enemy. The Eagles scored two safeties off mishandled kickoffs and returned a fumble for a touchdown. Lehigh 14, N. Iowa 7 CEDAR FALLS, Iowa — Chris Lum threw a pair of third-quarter touchdown passes and Lehigh defeated Northern Iowa 14-7 in the first round of the FCS playoffs.
OTHERS KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — After a season of growing pains and low expectations, Tennessee was rewarded with two things that have defined Volunteers football over the past two and a half decades — a win over Kentucky and a chance to play in a bowl game. The Vols (6-6, 3-5 SEC) responded to a four-game losing streak in October with a perfect November and extended their winning streak over Kentucky to 26 straight games with a 24-14 victory.

Wake gets win Associated Press
The ACC roundup ... NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Josh Harris rushed for 138 yards and one touchdown and Wake Forest defeated Vanderbilt 34-13 on Saturday night in Robbie Caldwell's last game as Vanderbilt's head coach. Caldwell announced he was stepping down earlier in the day, ending his short tenure as head coach. Vanderbilt (2-10) ended the season on a seven-game losing streak, which is currently tied for the second-longest skid in the Football Bowl Subdivision. It was the Commodores’ second straight 10-loss season. They have had at least nine losses in six of the last 10 seasons. The Demon Deacons (3-9), who snapped a nine-game losing skid, were aided by several Vanderbilt special teams miscues. The Commodores missed two field goals (50 and 37 yards) and had two punts blocked. Caldwell took over in mid-July for Bobby Johnson, who abruptly resigned. That gave Caldwell, who spent the previous eight seasons as Vanderbilt's offensive line coach, just seven weeks to prepare for the season opener. David Williams, the vice chancellor in charge of university affairs and athletics, said he spoke with Caldwell over Thanksgiving and met with him Saturday morning. He said the two reached a “mutual agreement that the university and the football program needed to go in a new direction.” The game marked the first time since Nov. 29, 2008 — also against Vanderbilt — that Wake Forest blocked two punts in one contest. South Florida 23, Miami 20, OT MIAMI — South Florida never loses in overtime. And the Bulls’ latest great escape might have Randy Shannon running out of time at Miami. Jerrell Young’s interception of Jacory Harris with 5 seconds left in regulation kept Miami from trying a potentially game-winning field goal, Demetris Murray had a 1yard touchdown run in the first OT and South Florida stunned Miami 23-20 — sparking more speculation about Shannon's future. Miami (7-5) finished 3-3 at home, its worst mark since 1997. In Shannon’s four seasons, the Hurricanes are 28-22 overall. “It’s very tough,” Miami fullback Pat Hill said. “Not everything works how you want it to work.” That is, unless you’re South Florida, and unless you're in overtime. The Bulls have gone past regulation nine times in their relatively brief football history and won them all. Boston College 16, Syracuse 7 SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Andre Williams ran with his big chance. Pressed into a starting role in place of injured star Montel Harris, the freshman tailback rushed for 185 yards on a school-record 42 carries and scored one touchdown, Nate Freese kicked three field goals, and Boston College beat Syracuse 16-7.

SALISBURY POST
ACC FOOTBALL
UNC’s domination of Duke continues But they couldn’t come up with a miracle finish: Austin Kelly caught Sean Renfree’s last pass near midfield, but he was wrapped up as time expired before he could find someone to take a lateral. “That’s kind of been the story all year, especially losing at the end there,” Renfree said. Renfree was 24 of 39 for 242 yards with two interceptions and a 9-yard touchdown pass to Kelly for Duke, which ended its season with a three-game losing streak. Yates was 28 of 35, reached the 9,000-yard passing mark for his career and threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Joshua Adams for the Tar Heels, who had four scoring drives of at least 80 yards and converted 65 percent of their third downs. “Third-down conversions were pretty much the whole tale of the entire game,” Duke safety Matt Daniels said. “The defense has got to learn how to get off the field.” North Carolina snapped a twogame losing streak and locked up its third straight winning season with the bowl destination still to be determined. “When people look back, 10, 15, 20 years from now, they’re going to look at this group of seniors and after the 4-8 season in 2007, these guys made Carolina football relevant,” coach Butch Davis said. “They made it important, and they made winning matter, every single

DURHAM— Once again, the North CarolinaN. Carolina 24 Duke game came Duke 19 down to a wacky finish. The final result was familiar, too — another victory for the Tar Heels. North Carolina beat the Blue Devils for the 20th time in 21 years, holding them off 24-19 on Saturday behind 264 yards and a touchdown from T.J. Yates. Anthony Elzy rushed for a careerhigh 116 yards, and he and Shaun Draughn each had short scoring runs for the Tar Heels (7-5, 4-4 ACC), who led 24-10 late before Duke (3-9, 1-7) made things interesting in the final five minutes. “It’s always like that when you play Duke. It’s always something about it,” North Carolina safety Deunta Williams said. “It’s going to be a tight game, and you’ve got to understand that, but you can’t let the calls or the bad breaks that you get kind of mess up how you’re feeling. You can’t let the momentum swing in a negative way for you. You’ve got to keep the prize at mind and go out there and play.” They stuffed Draughn in the end zone for a safety, pulled within five on Brandon Connette’s 2-yard touchdown run with 3:20 left, and forced a punt to get the ball back with 43 seconds left at the Duke 24.
season.” Elzy scored on a 5-yard run, surpassed the previous high of 95 yards he set three years ago against Miami and helped North Carolina keep hold of the Victory Bell traveling trophy that goes to the winner of this game. The Tar Heels have won seven straight in the rivalry between schools located 8 miles apart, and bizarre finishes certainly aren’t anything new lately — even if they all seem to end with the same team on top. In 2006, Duke nearly rallied from a late 14-point deficit by scoring two touchdowns in the final 5 minutes, but North Carolina blocked the tying extra point in a 45-44 win. The following year, the Tar Heels won the rivalry’s only overtime meeting when then-Duke coach Ted Roof was doused with a victory bath — moments before his team missed a field goal that would have won it in regulation. “With these guys, it’s always kind of annoying — they keep coming back, keep coming back,” Yates said with a smile, “but they’re a good team.” North Carolina rolled up a seasonhigh 519 total yards against the ACC’s worst defense and held the Blue Devils to 12 yards rushing, and Yates became the first North Carolina quarterback to reach 9,000 yards passing for his career with a 14-yard toss to a diving Adams early in the

The Terrapins finished with exactly the same record as State, yet they couldn’t have been happier. “I think we finally took that step, getting a signature win,” Danny O’Brien said. “Hopefully we can keep rolling. We got what we wanted: We put ourselves in good position to get a good bowl game, and hopefully we play a good team and get another signature win.” O’Brien, a redshirt freshman, completed 33 of 47 passes in the first 400-yard game by a Terp

second quarter. “A lot of the things that he does that help our offense, they don’t even put them on the stat sheet,” Davis said. He later put the Tar Heels up 177 on their first possession after halftime, completing five consecutive passes during the 12-play, 80-yard drive that ended with his touchdown
quarterback since Scott Milanovich in 1993. “The poise and the accuracy he had tonight, that’s one of the better performances I’ve seen as a quarterback. Very impressive,” coach Ralph Friedgen said. Smith had a career-high 14 catches for 224 yards and became the first Maryland player with four touchdown receptions in a single game. “We kind of saw early on that he was kind of hot, so we just wanted to feed the hot hand,” Terps offensive coordinator James Franklin said. “We weren’t able to run the ball consistently enough, so at some point you’re just going to go with what’s working.”
toss about 5 minutes into the half. Will Snyderwine’s 21-yard field goal pulled the Blue Devils to 17-10 before Yates led the Tar Heels 81 yards in 12 plays. His 35-yard strike to Dwight Jones on a third-and-8 set up Draughn’s 3-yard TD run that made it 24-10 with 111⁄2 minutes left and prematurely sent some fans to the exits.
Smith scored on passes of 11, 10, 12 and 71 yards. The last touchdown came with 6:26 left immediately after Maryland’s Drew Gloster sacked Russell Wilson on a fourth-down play from the Maryland 8 with the Terrapins ahead 31-17. Wilson scored on a 1-yard run with 2:39 remaining. The Wolfpack recovered the onside kick and Wilson threw a TD pass with 1:16 left, but Maryland pounced on the ensuing onside kick. “We fought at the end, which is definitely huge for our team,” Wilson said. “Now we have to get ready for the bowl game.” Wilson went 31 of 60 for 311 yards and a touchdown, but it
wasn’t enough to prevent the Wolfpack from absorbing their third straight defeat at Maryland since 2004. The Terrapins finished 5-1 at home and can expect to play in a quality bowl game after going 2-10 last year. A stiff wind heavily influenced the kicking game. In the second quarter, Wolfpack punter Andy Leffler got off a 12-yarder, Maryland’s Travis Baltz misfired on a 37-yard field goal try and N.C. State’s Josh Czajowski had a field goal try blocked. On the positive side, Baltz had the wind behind him when he kicked a career-long 52-yard field goal to put the Terrapins up 17-14 at halftime.

Free light bulbs are just a phone call, or a few clicks, away for Duke Energy customers. The energy giant is giving away up to 15 free compact fluorescent light bulbs, or CFLs, to each customer. Replacing a home’s six most frequently used standard light bulbs with CFLs can save up to $180 over the lifetime of the bulbs, Duke Energy says. Duke customers can visit www.duke-energy.com/free-cfls or call 800-943-7585 (option 1) to see if they are eligible for free CFLs. Qualification is based on how many bulbs customers may have received from other Duke Energy free CFL offers, spokesperson Betsy Alley Conway said in an e-mail to the Post. Customers can receive up to 15 CFLs through any combination of offers. The system will provide the number of bulbs available, then customers select how many bulbs they want, Alley said. The system also verifies if the individual is a Duke Energy customer. Replacing standard bulbs with CFLs is considered one of the easiest ways to lower a home’s energy bill. CFLs last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs and use up to 75 percent less electricity than incandescent bulbs. On average, each CFL will save about $30 in energy costs over the expected lifetime of the bulb. It takes four to six weeks to receive the CFLs at your home. Contact Emily Ford at 704797-4264.

Rick’s Barbeque & Grill opens Monday at 929 S. Main St., just up the street from the restaurant’s previous location. Rick Foster, who has run the business for six years at 1617 S. Main St., will relocate to the former home of Marlow’s Bar-B-Q & Seafood across from Chesnut Hill Cemetery. It’s a homecoming of sorts for Foster, who managed Chesnut Hill BBQ in that location for two years. The new location offers more space, more parking and a drive-thru window, Foster said. He plans to offer a weekly vintage car night and bike night. Rick’s karaoke nights will continue, with special Thursday shows featuring one singer and karaoke for all Fridays and Saturdays. Hours will be 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday and 6 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. The restaurant will serve breakfast all day and feature an expanded menu. Foster said he plans to hire additional staff. Marlow’s Bar-B-Q & Seafood is now located at 2030 Statesville Blvd.

Construction workers put together W.a. Brown structural panels for the Bethlehem village.
W.A. Brown panels help bring Bethlehem Village to life Salisbury company played a major role in the construction of Bethlehem Village, part of the holiday drive-through light show and Christmas village under way at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Better Building Products, a division of the 100-year-old W.A. Brown & Son of Salisbury, provided more than 200 large panels that were installed on the speedway’s infield for the entrance gate and wall to Bethlehem Village, the vendor booths in the village, the two-story inn, and the stable. The company, with Paul Brown as products manager, also provided the panels for ticket booths used throughout the show. Mike Miller, president of Miller Davis Productions, said that he wanted to use local labor as much as possible in building the show to help the economy in Rowan County. Miller Davis is a partner and marketing manager of the show. “We knew from the beginning that we would be building Bethlehem Village,” Miller said. “When we began thinking how it could be built, we didn’t think conventional stick building would be long-term, and Bethlehem Village will be long-term.” Miller Davis has a threeyear contract for the Christmas show. “We needed something that you could take apart like Lincoln logs,” Miller said. “Because of our relationship with W.A. Brown and knowing the product, it dawned on me that the panels could work. I had seen the structure that they built panels for at Faithful Friends Animal Sanctuary on Grace Church Road. “The panels are easy to put up and take down and will be easy to store,” Miller said. W.A. Brown is a client of Miller Davis, a full-service marketing agency. The panels, which are a “green” product in keeping with the show’s LED lighting, were built at the factory in Salisbury and trucked to the speedway for assembly. W.A.

This type of construction is applicable for both residential and commercial use, “anywhere a durable enclosure is needed,” said Brown. The panels have been used for constructing camping cabins, restroom facilities and controlled environment rooms for data collection, as well as for an architect’s home. “We were pleased to have the opportunity to work on Bethlehem Village,” Brown said. “It has provided additional earning opportunities for our employees and a way to showcase our product in another non-traditional application.” The panels offer fast, easy installation when compared to traditional stickbuilt construction, Brown
said. Their construction is done in a controlled manufacturing facility and the process allows for inclusion of structural metal members, molded in splines, Brown’s special “Cam-Lock” closures, and the exterior skins. The panels are injected using high pressure machinery with a two-part urethane foam that expands and fills the core, bonding to the exterior skins. The bond between the foam and the structural members forms an efficient (R-29 for a 3 ½ core), high strength building component with excellent fire safety characteristics. In addition to Bethlehem Village, Carolina Christmas features a 2.5-mile drivethrough light show, skating rink, amusement rides, Festival of Trees, and other attractions. It is open nightly from 6-10 through Jan. 2.

Smart money: Time to go see the taxman, Johnny BY BRUCE WILLIAMS United Feature Syndicate
DEAR BRUCE: I am 63 and retired from Kentucky state government in 2008. I have $175,000 in a deferred comp program with the state. I started this as a tax shelter, and now that I’m retired, I wanted to know the best way to start taking it out. I originally had it split up in different stocks, bonds etc, but when a certain president was elected a few years ago, I moved it to an interest-bearing system. I received about $1,400 a quarter in interest, but I know when I take it out, it will cost me at least 20 percent taxes. Before I retired, I also split my savings into a 401(k) and a 457, because when I retired, I rolled over about $20,000 into the fund from my annual
range plans. One example: Some people will tell you to bite the bullet because it’s very possible that our government, in its “wisdom,” may raise the tax rates. Not necessarily, but it could happen. The point is that until you take all these variables into account with your unique circumstances (all of our circumstances are unique to ourselves), there is no way via e-mail to make the best decision. An accountant that specializes in tax matters is the only way to go in my DEAR JOHNNY: Congratulations on you prudence. opinion.

Candy company thrives after emerging from bankruptcy
Doughnuts to your door Krispy Kreme ponders offering delivery service BY RICHARD CRAVER Winston-Salem Journal
WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Bringing dozens of glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts to a business gathering has been a local tradition for decades, sometimes as critical to the setup as a PowerPoint presentation. Now the doughnut-maker is experimenting with making that taste of Southern hospitality easier to get with a business-to-business marketing strategy — Krispy Kreme Express, a delivery service. It is being tested in an area around Battleground Avenue in Greensboro. Available by the dozen are original glazed and a classic assortment, Krispy Kreme spokesman Brian Little said. The company says on its website that customers can use the service “to soften up a prospect or to show your appreciation to a current customer.” “Our objective in this concept test is to simply gauge the business community’s interest in a delivery program of this type,” Little said. The company has tested several delivery strategies over the years, Little said. With this initiative, Krispy Kreme is using independent contractors for delivery and
relying on online orders. The company wouldn’t say how much it is charging for the service, but did say the price includes delivery. A regular dozen, glazed or variety, costs $6.99 at a Krispy Kreme store. Little said the Battleground store was chosen because “we have a lot of loyal fans in Greensboro and we believe the area is a good region to conduct a concept test of this type.” Analysts said the service could serve to cut down on morning errand time and boost productivity. The main challenge to the delivery service is whether Krispy Kreme can live up to its reputation for freshness, said Michelle Roehm, a marketing professor and a senior associate dean of faculty at the Schools of Business at Wake Forest University. “I think this is an intriguing innovation that builds on existing brand strengths,” Roehm said. “The pitfalls would be similar to the pizza industry, in which you set up expectations of on-time delivery with a high level of quality. If you don’t deliver, you risk disappointing some of your biggest fans.” Little said that the doughnuts are made early on the

Greensboro is the first test market for having independent contractors deliver hot doughnuts to homes. morning of pickup. Gayle Anderson, the president and chief executive of the Winston-Salem Chamber of Commerce, said that a Krispy Kreme delivery service “could be a very effective promotional opportunity, depending on the cost.” Little said that it is too early to determine how much revenue the delivery service could generate.
A business-to-business marketing concept with food is not uncommon, said John Stanton, a food-marketing professor at St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia. He said that groups, such as Frito Lay, offer the service. “As a business-to-business, it might make it, but there had better be more on the truck than just doughnuts,” Stanton said.

CHICAGO (AP) — A halfdozen years ago iconic chocolatier Fannie May, loved by Chicago candy devotees who passed down their affections for mint meltaways, caramels and vanilla buttercreams from generation to generation, was all but finished. The candy company launched in 1920 was in bankruptcy. More than 200 of its retail stores were closed. Customers who worried they would never be able to buy the chocolates again stripped display cases and emptied shelves of the confections. But six years after its 2004 near-meltdown, Fannie May has seen a turnaround and is thriving again thanks to what its executives say has been a mix of the old and the new: a strict adherence to decades-old chocolate recipes and growth and expansion in online and retail sales. “It was tumultuous, it was crazy,” said David Taiclet, president of gourmet food brands for 1-800Flowers.com, which now owns Fannie May. “But what survived is people who care about the product, care about the experience.” The result has been online sales that have more than doubled since 2006 for a brand approaching $100 million in revenue annually. By the end of this year, Fannie May will have opened five new retail stores in the Chicago area for a total of 85 stores in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio — nearly double the 45 stores the company

opened after emerging from bankruptcy in 2004. Genny Ryan, 43, now lives in Charlotte, N.C. but grew up eating Fannie May candies in South Bend, Ind. Ryan brought her children Jack, 11, and Tess, 8, into the company’s flagship Michigan Avenue store on a recent trip to Chicago. The family’s redand-white Fannie May shopping bag was filled with meltaways, buttercreams and pixies. “I said ‘I have to stop and get some,’” Ryan said. “I haven’t had any in forever.” Fannie May, which produces about 10 million pounds of chocolate a year, is as synonymous with Chicago as Ghirardelli Chocolate is with San Francisco or Hershey’s is with Pennsylvania. “I think Chicago is really rooting for Fannie May because they want a candy to call their own,” said Beth Kimmerle, a confectionary historian who once worked for Fannie May and is author of “Chocolate: The Sweet History.” It’s been a whirlwind past two decades for the chocolate maker opened 90 years ago in Chicago by H. Teller Archibald. In 1991, the family that owned Fannie May sold to a private equity group. By 2002, the company filed for bankruptcy to restructure debt built up from acquisitions. Archibald Candy Corp. emerged from bankruptcy in late 2002 with creditors as owners only to file for bankruptcy again in 2004. That’s when the stores and a candy manufacturing plant on Chicago’s West Side closed. “I felt terrible,” said Dorothy Phelan, 60, of Chicago, who remembers the candies from when she was a little girl. “It’s just something that is part of your memories.” Utah-based Alpine Confections Inc. stepped in and bought the Fannie May and Fannie Farmer brands in 2004, jump-starting the current era of growth.

MACAU (AP) — A Macau casino mogul bid $330,000 for a pair of white truffles, including one weighing nearly a kilogram, matching the record price he paid at the same event three years ago for one of the giant tubers. Billionaire Stanley Ho made the winning bid Saturday at a charity auction through representatives of his company, Sociedade de Jogos de Macau. The pair included a huge truffle dug up in the central Tuscany region weighing about 2 pounds as well as one found in Molise weighing in at about 14 ounces. The auction was staged at Ho’s Grand Lisboa hotel in the former Portuguese colony of Macau, with bidders participating simultaneously in Rome and London through satellite link. In 2007, Ho paid $330,000 for a white truffle unearthed in Tuscany weighing about 3.3 pounds. Ho is best known for his casino monopoly in Macau, a gambling enclave in southern China near Hong Kong.

Judy Isenhour knows exactly what will be lacking when she closes the door on Pleasant Papers for the last time. “I will miss the people the most, my customers,” she said. “I will miss seeing them. I love my customers. “It has been a real treat and I am going to miss it.” After 25 years in business, Isenhour plans to retire and close her gift and stationery store at 1806 W. Innes St. But Isenhour said she’s looking forward to playing a bit of golf and tending her orchids. And she also wants to spend more time with her husband John. She grew up in the foothills near Forest City. She and John, a native of Salisbury, were married in 1979. “He has put up with a lot over the years,” Judy Isenhour said, “and he has been really, really supportive.” John built her a greenhouse for her orchids and she is looking forward to spending time, as she put it, playing in the dirt. It won’t be the first time Isenhour has time on her hands. Years ago, after retiring from her first career as a computer programmer, she found that she did all the things she wanted to do within the first year of retirement. So in 1986 she decided to purchase a small bookstore, Chapter One Books and Gifts, located not far from her current Ketner Center location. She renamed it Bookmasters. At the time, she planned to be in the retail business no more than 10 years. By 1990, Bookmasters was selling 22,000 books a year, according to Post files. Isenhour had also bought a stationery business from Chris Whitton’s Copeland Collection when it closed. She added a little bit at a time and before long had a full-blown stationery wedding department. Isenhour moved Bookmasters in 1991 to a location with 60 percent more retail floor space — plenty of room for more books and a complete stationery department named Pleasant Papers. The book industry took a turn in the late 1990s as chains like Barnes & Noble bought up distributors that served independent stores. Isenhour began looking for other ways to make money. So she built up the stationery side of her business and eventually dropped the Bookmasters name. Pleasant Papers currently carries thousands of stationery options in stock and does most of the printing in house as well. The special order business, wedding and party invitations, stationery and holiday cards will continue as usual. In 1992, Pleasant Papers opened a location in Blowing Rock and in 1998 Isenhour purchased a gift shop in Concord and added a stationery department that also went by
day gift, said she was disappointed to hear the store would close. Katherine Demary was also unaware of Isenhour’s plans. “I am sad to hear that. There aren’t enough gift shops in town,” she said. “I have done most of my Christmas shopping here. I am sure going to miss this store.” Elizabeth Cook contributed to this story.

Sunday, Nov. 28 The next year could see an achievement cycle that will be quite fruitful if you’re willing to work hard for what you hope to get. By being prepared to pay the price and sticking with it, success will come in large measure. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — That axiom, “If you want something done well, do it yourself” could turn out to be very significant. Don’t try to palm off an important job onto someone who lacks the experience. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Unfortunately, sometimes we do get our way, only to gum things up that are running smoothly, which might be the case for you. Tread slowly so you don’t derail a delicate situation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You have what it takes to make this a very rewarding day, but hopes and wishes can only become realities if they are effectively acted upon. Don’t sit around merely daydreaming. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — It’s important that you maintain an optimistic attitude regarding the plan of events if you want a good outcome. Only positive thinking can pave the way for positive results. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Look for the faults in others and you can be sure they will happily point out yours. Even if you believe someone is less than perfect, accept this person for being human, warts and all. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Conditions are likely to be better than you think for handling a delicate situation, but for some reason you’re more apt to see only the bad side of issues and to not be able to resolve things. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Prematurely judging someone you just met causes you to close your eyes to any of this person’s good points, making it quite likely that you’ll miss out on making a wonderful new friend. It’ll be your loss. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Companionship with friends might start out being quite pleasant right now, but should even a small disagreement arise, you could blow things way out of proportion if you’re too sensitive. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — There is nothing wrong with your judgment, yet you might ignore it if it doesn’t agree with what you want to do. Be careful, because this could cause a problem where risk-taking is concerned. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It would be best for you to do what needs doing instead of waiting on another who promised to do it for you. The support that you were hoping to receive isn’t likely to be forthcoming. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Anything you enjoy doing is likely to be performed quite well, but should a distasteful task need your attention, your lack of focus on it could cause you to botch things up. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Even though you might know time is your ally when it comes to a financial arrangement, in your haste to get your hands on the money there is a good chance you could foul the nest. Slow your roll.

New film shows Afghan combat from soldier’s view
Seven deadly categories of spending
NEW YORK (AP) — It wasn’t the bestselling books or the magazine articles that got Sebastian Junger in tight with members of the 173rd Airborne. It was the bar. The bar, and the willingness to take fire with the unit on its deployment to the Korengal Valley, the deadliest corner of Afghanistan. When photographer Tim Hetherington and Junger, author of “The Perfect Storm,” first showed up in the Korengal to document the deployment, they were just another couple of reporters to the members of the 173rd. “If anything got me some kind of credibility out there at first, it was that I owned a bar,” says Junger, co-owner of the Half King in Manhattan. “They’d literally come up to me like ‘is it true, you own a bar?’” That broke the ice. Walking patrols, documenting combat missions — everything but carrying a gun — then broke the barriers between filmmakers and soldiers. On one combat operation, Hetherington broke his leg and walked all night on it. From this came the highly praised “Restrepo,” which has made the first cut for documentary features at the 2011 Oscars. It’s one of fifteen films from which the five nominees will be chosen. It’s also getting its TV premiere Monday on the National Geographic Channel. “Restrepo” tells the story of the 2nd Platoon of Battle Company in the 173rd Airborne Combat Team on its de-
If you consistently are spending all of your money, leaving you broke and just barely hanging on until payday, you need to do something about that. And soon. To get control of your spending, you need to understand the seven basic reasons you spend money: • Need Purchases. These are items you need to mainMARY tain life or to HUNT prevent physical misery. Included are basic food, shelter, medical care, basic clothing and taxes necessary to sustain life. • Investment Purchases. Included in this category are savings, checking accounts, stocks, bonds, 401(k) retirement accounts and other vehicles available for storing your funds. • Pleasure Purchases. Goods or services that will bring pleasure, fun, excitement, happiness and intellectual stimulation into your life. • Convenience Purchases. Goods and services to make life easier or to save you time and hassle. These can be household appliances, dry cleaning services, cell phones, computers and so on.
what and how much. Now you need to add a third entry: category. Of the seven purchase categories, the first two (Need Purchases and Investment Purchases) are almost always winners. The second two (Pleasure and Convenience) are neither winners nor losers, and the last three (Ego, Tradition and Guilt) are the debt-makers. Take a few minutes to have a heart-to-heart talk with yourself. Think about the purchases you’ve made in the past that had negative impacts on your financial health. Funny, isn’t it, how the purchases we regret the most are deeper in the purchase category chain (categories 5, 6 and 7 -Ego, Tradition and Guilt)? As you begin to become aware of your purchasing by category, something wonderful is going to happen. You’ll change the way you spend your money, making it possible to take back control of your life!

• Ego Purchases. This category is really an evil spinoff of the Pleasure Purchases category. Ego purchases are status symbols and are made solely for the sake of showing off, e.g., oversize homes, expensive sports cars, giant plasma TVs — things that come with big monthly payments that quickly suck away the pleasure. • Tradition Purchases. This is a sickening category that includes any purchase made without rational thought, simply to be “normal.” These are expenditures made so you’ll “fit in” at work or home, items you almost never use, such as the “good” china. • Guilt Purchases. This category is similar to Tradition Purchases, but the irrational motive here is guilt. Gifts given because you believe you must — because it is expected to meet others’ expectations — are guilt purchases. In past columns, I have challenged you to take control of your finances by tracking how you spend your money. That means keeping a simple written record, day in and day out, of what you spend. Recorded on something such as an index card (one card per day), a daily spending record shows you exactly where your money goes. It requires two entries for each purchase,

ployment to the Korengal in 2007 and 2008. The title refers to the platoon outpost, named after a popular soldier, Juan Restrepo, who was killed early on. Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta, who was awarded the Medal of Honor this month for rescuing a mortally wounded fellow soldier, was in 1st Platoon. He was interviewed on camera, but does not appear in the film. “Restrepo” is striking for its close-up of the visceral reality of combat. It’s also notable for a lack of perspective on the larger war and an external narrator. “We wanted to keep the viewer in the Korengal,” says Hetherington. “The soldiers in the Korengal didn’t have access to generals.” Leaving out the generals and the politicians created a cinema verite, but there was nothing to make sense of the combat footage. Junger and Hetherington didn’t want to go the usual route of hiring a narrator. “All of a sudden, you’re taking the viewer out of the Korengal,” Junger said. “Morgan Freeman (to choose someone who narrates many documentaries) was not narrating things in the Korengal while they were happening.” Instead, they used excerpts of interviews conducted with the soldiers at company headquarters in Italy three months after the deployment. By then, many were suffering from posttraumatic stress syndrome.

Ga. town trying to make recycling effort easier on residents BY BLAKE AUED Athens (Ga.) Banner-Herald
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Athens residents can kiss their blue and green recycling bins goodbye. No longer will they have to sort their bottles, cans and paper. Athens-Clarke County is moving to single-stream recycling, and a year from now will begin to accept almost all types of plastic, so people will be able to throw just about everything except food scraps into one bin. “For them, it’s an improvement,� Athens-Clarke Manager Alan Reddish said. “They don’t have to worry about any separation. They can put it all on the curb in one container.� While it may not seem like much trouble to pitch a soda can into one bin and yesterday’s newspaper into another, single-stream recycling can dramatically increase the amount of trash kept out of landfills. Communities that switched to single-stream saw a 10 percent to 50 percent jump in recycling. Reddish said he expects about a 25 percent increase in Athens. “We’re doing this to increase the recyclable materials and reduce what goes to the landfill,� he said. It’s also about money. Converting the county’s recycling facility will cost about $1.2 million to $1.5 million. But many recyclables are worth money, so the county government will recoup the investment by processing and selling more recycled materials, Reddish said. Some private haulers are taking the recyclables they pick up in Clarke County to landfills elsewhere because those landfills accept singlestream loads, Reddish said. That practice should stop once Athens-Clarke County switches, he said. “We think those will start staying here, and we’ll keep some of that revenue,� he said.
The county has money set aside to retrofit the facility, Reddish said, so AthensClarke Solid Waste and private-hauler customers will not see a rate increase. Funding will come from the county’s landfill enterprise fund, a separate budget mostly made up of tipping fees paid to dump trash at the county landfill. The fund is used to operate the landfill and the recycling center. FCR, the private company that operates the Hancock Industrial Way recycling facility, will contribute about $200,000 the project. AthensClarke County and FCR split revenue from selling recycled material. Work should begin soon after an Athens-Clarke Commission vote Dec. 7, Waste Reduction Administrator Suki Janssen said. With the exception of devices that pull out aluminum, workers sort trash out of the metal/plastic and paper streams by hand, but that’s not practical with single-stream, Janssen said. “Right now, we’re very low-tech,� she said. “We’re mainly human hand-sorting. Single stream, the only way it makes sense is to have a very mechanized process.� Solid Waste also will begin taking all types of plastic, including grocery bags, foam, packing peanuts, disposable plates, cups and silverware, plastic wrap, sandwich bags, shower curtains and pipe. Only plastics like water and soda bottles, milk jugs, shampoo bottles and detergent bottles can be recycled now. The recycling center still will be able to handle dualstream recyclables so the University of Georgia and manufacturers can continue to easily recycle loads of just paper, plastic or metal that don’t need sorting, Janssen said. Switching to single-stream was one recommendation of a Solid Waste Task Force appointed by the mayor.

SALISBURY POST

Rowan’s early inhabitants Piedmont has been home to various Native American tribes t just would not be Thanksgiving without memories of our elementary school days and the holiday plays. The day before the holiday break usually included a feast of homemade applesauce and cranberry relish. From a teacher’s perspective, I can say that it took KAREN real nerve to eat LILLY-BOWYER some of the dishes that my students had prepared. As a student, choosing to be a Pilgrim or an Indian was always a big decision. Both were noble, and both contributed equally to the pageant. I liked the Indian costumes better. My choice was always easy. I certainly hope that the traditional feast is still celebrated in our public schools. With a little luck, county food and health inspectors have overlooked the children’s cooking process. The story of the first American colonists’ harvest and their relationship with their Indian neighbors is known by even the youngest school children, but how much do we know about the Indians that lived in our own community? What was the relationship between early Rowan settlers and the tribes that called this land home? John Lawson, who traveled through Rowan in 1701, wrote about the Indians and the beautiful land that was their home. He wrote about the chestnut oaks he found in the region. He said they were so large that his gun could not kill a turkey that was perched in the high branches. The name Yadkin is a derivative of an Indian word meaning large trees. William Byrd, another early North Carolina traveler, wrote about the Indians and the land in1728. He described the land as “poisoned fields.” He believed fire or insects had destroyed many of the larger trees. Other records indicate this may have been the result of the Indians’ practice of setting the woods on fire to run the deer into the clearings. Both Byrd and Lawson wrote that Rowan was well stocked with wildlife. Bear, deer, elk, panthers, wolves, wild turkeys, swans and cranes were abundant. Lawson was impressed with the fish and fowl that he found in the creeks feeding into the river. Lawson called the river a “Silver-Stream” and wrote of the “pleasantness of the

Late-night phone call This is a blog entry by Salisbury writer Sam Post. You can link to more posts by him and other community bloggers at www.salisburypost.com. ast night, at 2 a.m., I was up working. This is not unusual. What is unusual is that my phone should ring at this hour. It was a local number. It’s my business number also, and I usually answer as such — if I don’t recognize the caller. But not at this hour. I’ve gotten other calls in the wee hours. It’s usually either somebody who is crazy and can’t find the little man we hide each week, or somebody who is expecting to leave a message on the answering machine. But this is also my personal phone, and I always think it could be bad news. My policy is basically this: if I’m awake, I answer it. If I’m asleep, I don’t. SAM “Hello,” I said. POST The guy asked me how much we charge for our ads in Coffee News. I told him. We discussed the terms and he said he wanted to buy the ad. He told me he wanted only his name — his nickname — in the ad. “Everybody knows me,” he said. He also had a tagline in mind. It was a bit egocentric, and had nothing to do with what he did. I suggested that he include not only his nickname and tagline — but also the service he offers. After being on the phone for some time, I still didn’t know this myself and was curious, to say the least. “What service do you offer?” I asked. He kept responding that everybody knew him. He said all the cops knew him. I said we wanted only good, legal businesses in Coffee News. We went back and forth about this. I guess my imagination got the best of me, because I asked if he was a private eye. “That’s it,” he said. I wrote up the order. When we sell ads, we ask for people’s name, address, etc. — and we ask for a birthday — so we can send a card. He was elderly. He served in Korea and spent time there in jail. He described for me the circumstances of his arrest, how he had been shot and was lucky not to have been killed. “I’m a survivor,” he said. We talked for quite a while. He was in New York on 9/11, a block away from the twin towers. He saw one of the planes hit. His cell phone kept working when others did not. He impulsively decided that he wanted a picture of the twin towers in the ad. He said he could give me a good picture, if I didn’t have one. “I’m a survivor,” he said again. He had high praise for my name. “Every Sam I’ve known has been a good egg,” he said. This includes a former boss named Sam who died 15 years ago. He wanted to bring the payment to me. I suggested I make him a proof for the ad and visit him — today, at 2 o’clock. He could pay then. He seemed to be pleased with this arrangement. He asked what I was doing up at this hour. I said I was trying to fix my computer. He asked if I had a computer I could sell him, and I said I did not. At 3 a.m., he called again. He asked if I had finished making his ad. “I’ll do that tomorrow,” I said. He asked if I could help him by locating the number for a taxi. “Where are you going?” I asked. “Catching a train,” he said. “If you’re getting on a train, then how are we going to meet at two o’clock?” “I’ll be there,” he said. He asked what I was doing up at this time of the morning. “Going to bed,” I said. He supported that. Today, I did not design the ad. I called and talked with his daughter. He has Alzheimer’s. He was out, wandering. She didn’t know where he was or what to do. We talked for quite a while. We talked about a variety of options (including the VA), but my primary suggestion was that she call Alzheimer’s Association hotline and talk to somebody there. It’s a great organization. Over the past four years, I’ve called several times for support and information — in regards to my mom’s care. He was a nice guy. We connected. Two night owl busy bodies who like to talk. I hope they find a way to take good care of him.

These Catawba Indians, photographed in Rock Hill, S.C., circa 1913, are descendants of the Native Americans who once claimed the eastern portion of Rowan County.
In ‘The History of North Carolina,’ 18th-century explorer John Lawson wrote about the Saponi Indians who lived along the banks of the Yadkin River. place.” The early Indians that inhabited Rowan were migratory. John Lederer followed the old trading path and identified the early Indians in the Trading Ford area as the Saura tribe. In 1714, John Lawson wrote in his book “The History of North Carolina” that the Saponi tribe that lived along the banks of the Yadkin River had once been a great and powerful tribe. When the tribe was first encountered, their campground was one mile square, with cleared fields. It is estimated that there were 400 to 600 braves. The tribe was con-
stantly at war with the other tribes. War and diseases contracted from English traders weakened the tribe, forcing it to become migratory to avoid capture and death at the hands of more powerful tribes. In 1753, when Rowan County was formed, the Catawba Indians claimed the eastern area as their hunting ground. The powerful Cherokee nation claimed the land in the west. Their land included the Blue Ridge Mountains. During the early years of the county, there was plenty of land for all, and both tribes were friendly and helpful to the settlers. When the French and Indian War began in 1754, the settlers in Rowan were quick to do everything necessary to continue their alliance with the Catawba and Cherokee Indians. Most of the important battles took place outside the county, but the settlers were aware of the French efforts to lure the Indians to their camp. In May of 1754, a group of Catawba Indians was accused of stealing and abusing settlers within the county. James Carter and Alexander Osborne were appointed commissioners to investigate the complaint. A meeting was arranged with the king/chief of the Catawba Indians. King Haigler explained that enemy tribes were chasing his warriors. The warriors were unable to hunt for food and asked the settlers for bread to
keep from starving. When the settlers refused to help them, they took the food. In answer to other crimes, the Catawba chief told Carter and Osborne that the settlers were to blame. He said, “You rot your grain in tubs out of which you take and make strong spirits. You sell it to our young men and give it to them many times; they get very drunk with it.” Haigler went on to tell the commissioners that many of the warriors’ actions that were so offensive to the settlers took place when the Indians were drunk on the white man’s spirits. He asked the commissioners to prevent the sale of spirits to his young men. He said it made them very sick and that many had died from the effects. Haigler promised to help the English in their war against the French. By May of 1756, the settlers’ relationship with the Cherokee tribe was beginning to show strains. King Haigler was afraid that the powerful Cherokees would turn against his people. He requested a conference with the governor. Governor Dobbs sent his chief justice to meet with Haigler. The Catawba chief stated that his people would continue to be strong allies of the English. His only requests were to stop the sale of liquor to his people, to provide him with guns and gunpowder

Pelosi’s mission: Limit Obama deals with GOP BY JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS Associated Press
ASHINGTON — Hers was the face on the grainy negative TV ads that helped defeat scores of Democrats. His agenda, reelection chances and legacy are on the line. Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, chosen after a messy family feud among Democrats to remain as their leader in the new Congress, and President Barack Obama share a keen interest in repairing their injured party after this month’s staggering losses. But Pelosi’s mandate is diverging from the president’s at a critical time, with potentially damaging consequences for Obama’s ability to cut deals with Republicans in the new Congress. Their partnership is strained after an election in which Pelosi and many Democrats feel the White House failed them by muddling the party’s message and being too slow to provide cover for incumbents who cast tough votes for Obama’s marquee initiatives. Pelosi will lead Democrats “in pulling on the president’s shirttails to

make sure that he doesn’t move from center-right to far-right,” said Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., a co-chair of the liberal Progressive Caucus in the House. “We think if he’d done less compromising in the last two years, there’s a good chance we’d have had a jobs bill that would have created real jobs, and then we wouldn’t even be worrying about having lost elections.” Behind Democrats’ decision to keep Pelosi as their leader after historic losses lies intense concern among liberals who dominate the party’s ranks on Capitol Hill: They fear Obama will go too far in accommodating the GOP in the new era of divided government, and they see Pelosi as a counterweight. She’s played that role before. When Democrats panicked after losing their Senate supermajority last winter, Pelosi rebuffed feelers by then-White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and others to settle for a smaller health care bill. She derided the approach as “kiddie care” and pushed forward with the sweeping overhaul she painstakingly steered through the

BANKRUPTCIES SURGE
The elderly and debt ecent statistics on nationwide bankruptcy filings reveal a disturbing trend that has particular repercussions for states like North Carolina with rpaidly growing populations of elderly residents: Older Americans are increasingly having to resort to bankruptcy. In fact, a study by the University of Michigan Law School found that bankruptcy filings among those 65 and older are increasing faster than for any other age group. When the Golden Years converge with Chapter 11, it’s an unhealthy trend for North Carolina, where the state’s elderly population is expected to double in the next 20 years or so. State and community planning agencies are already aware of the additional demands an older population will place on social service agencies, healthcare providers and others who serve older residents. If these recent bankruptcy statistics are part of a longer term shift, the burdens could be substantially greater than planners had previously considered. As for the factors behind the numbers, analysis yields some surprises. While it’s a given that health care costs increase with age, the University of Michigan study found that unpaid hospital bills weren’t the principal expense contributing to elder bankruptcies. Instead, the culprit — as with many younger folks — was credit card debt. The Michigan study found that, on average, older debtors carry 50 percent more credit-card debt that younger debtors, with Americans 65 and above who carry a credit-card balance owing an average of $10,235. A USA Today report says that almost 40 percent of retired Americans have credit-card debt. While the Great Recession and shrunked retirement accounts are fueling the bankruptcy boom at least in part, another recent study by AARP suggests there are longer term and more pernicious reasons at work. Between 1991 and 2007, before the global economic crisis erupted, the rate of personal bankruptcy filings for those 65 and older surged 150 percent, AARP says. The biggest rise came among those aged 75-84, whose bankruptcy rate jumped 433 percent. These numbers reinforce the message that elderly citizens in financial distress need to seek sound advice on the options available to them, and family members and caregivers need to talk with elderly relatives about their finances. Admittedly, that can be a difficult conversation for an older generation reluctant to talk about money problems, but it’s important to head off credit problems before unpaid balances balloon into a crushing financial laod. While it’s inevitable that seniors must contend with physical ailments and other vicissitudes of age, they shouldn’t end up being buried under a mountain of debt.

SALISBURY POST
2010. A few years ago, some Internet gurus predicted the death of newspapers, and the speculation snowballed from there. As if to prove the theory, a couple of papers did fold in the early days of the recession in metro areas that had more than one newspaper. But the Salisbury Post is still printing seven ELIZABETH days a week and reaching some COOK 20,000 homes. Our website reaches even more. If I were a betting person, I’d put my money on the Post being around awhile. I have to give credit to Fayettevill Observer Editor Charles Broadwell for inspiration. As president of the N.C. Press Association, he recently wrote about running into beginning journalists who seem undaunted by the doom and gloom crowd. “They’re trying new things to see what sticks,” he wrote. “From what I’ve seen in discussions with college students — from Fayetteville to Buies Creek to Chapel Hill — the future is bright for journalism.” He said he’d be willing to bet on it. Journalism includes all news media — probably some that haven’t been invented yet. But I’m talking about news or-
ganizations like the Post — newspapers that are adapting to the digital age. Don’t be quick to write us off. • • • According to the National Newspaper Association, some 911 newspapers were doing business in 2009, just a little below the peak of 917 reached in 2000 and 2003. U.S. newspapers have combined circulation of more than 45 million. Millions more look at newspaper websites. Paid circulation is down industrywide, but the decline has slowed, and overall audience has grown thanks to the Web. The Post has been in publication since 1905. We’ve been covering the community so long we forget that some people don’t know the fundamentals about how newspapers work. Who writes headlines? Why do papers report bad news? The Salisbury Tourism and Cultural Development Commission went down that road last week. After the names of two local hotels showed up in unflattering headlines, commission members became curious about how such things happen. For their benefit and others’, here are some basics. Q: Who writes headlines? A: Editors, not reporters. During the day, two people have responsibility for editing stories to go on www.salisburypost.com. At night, the copy editors who lay out the print edition write the head-
lines on stories. We encourage reporters to suggest headlines, but they’re usually moving on to the next assignment. Headline writing is not their area of expertise. Q: Why do newspapers report bad news? A: We cover what happens in the community, good and bad. Most people want to be informed about what’s going on; that’s why they read papers and watch the news. We write about parades, football championships, Veterans Day observances, new businesses, taxes, schools — the list is endless. And we write about crimes and accidents. Q: Why identify a business near where a body is found if there is no connection? Or where a gun accidentally goes off? A: We sometimes use businesses as landmarks to help readers easily identify where an event took place (or a body was found). The name does not have to be in the headline, though. When a gun accidentally goes off and police write a report, the location is part of the story. That’s not spin. It’s Journalism 101: Who, What, When, Where and Why. Q: Why didn’t the Post cover X event? A: Very often, it’s because we didn’t know about it. If we are asked to cover an event but cannot staff it, often we’ll try to work something out with an organizer or participant. They can write about it as well
as or better than we can. Q: How has the Internet made businesses more sensitive? A: Now we’re getting to the crux of the matter. The Post has reported on countless crimes and accidents without a peep from the tourism office. But with consumers now going online to do research on the hotels they might frequent, people in the hospitality business are especially horrified when their establishment’s name surfaces in a negative context.

Palin for president a concern for GOP hat was that explosion I just heard? Was it the conflagration between North and South Korea, or was it the release of Sarah Palin’s new book, “America By Heart.” No one has ever accused Sarah Palin of possessing anything less than a take-noprisoners style personality. As a politician, or cable TV celebrity, or whatever moniker she claims at the moment, her appeal is almost exclusively to the red meat crowd. And her new book does little to tone down the style for which she is renowned. In it, she blasts feminists (after once having called herself one) and waves the flag of racial division. She blasts Democrats as Socialists, bullies BONNIE Republicans for being too ERBE weak-kneed on budget items and dares to tread where no man (or woman) in the national political spotlight has had little-enough common sense to tread before. Sarah Palin is the It-Girl of divisiveness. CNN reports, “Since her emergence on the national scene as the GOP vice presidential nominee in 2008, Palin has been arguably the country’s most polarizing political figure. A recent CNN/Opinion Research Corporation found 49 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of her. But that poll also found that nearly three-quarters of Republican voters view her favorably.” I keep imagining Ronald Reagan telling her, “Oh there you go again!” In some of the most publicized portions of the book, she attacks the Obamas because they, in her words, “spent almost two decades in the pews of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s church listening to his rants against America and white people.”

sarah palin greets people as she signs her book ‘america by Heart’ at a phoenix store. I’m no fan of Wright or his style of preaching. But do we have to revisit that nasty, race-baiting incident? I’m fine with Palin challenging the President or his wife on policy matters, of which she does plenty in her book. But must we return to the chaos of the Wright days? This is the type of tactic of which Sarah Palin has become the absolute political master. And it’s a sad day in America, indeed. It is also the kind of tactic that costs her credibility among the majority of Americans, and will doom any presidential bid she seeks to make. CNN reports: “In terms of winning the 2012 nomination, the question is how Republican-leaning Americans view the contenders. Palin comes out on top. Among adults who identify themselves as Repub-
licans or GOP-leaning independents, 79 percent view her favorably, and 17 percent unfavorably. “These findings worry many Republican officials. The poll suggests Palin might be able to win the nomination. But among independents — they could be the deciding factor in the general election — just 43 percent hold a favorable view of Palin, compared with 61 percent with a positive view of Obama.” Sarah Palin has become the world’s foremost authority on first creating and then controlling chaos in terms of marketing her personal brand. First came the leaks during the presidential campaign of her disloyalty to Sen. John McCain, who brought her onto the national scene. Then the unwed teenage daughter of this devout Christian became pregnant and birthed a child. Then the nasty, messy public family-fight between the Palins and the father of Bristol Palin’s son. The chaos never ends. And on one level her mastery of it is fascinating. Her ability to consume way more than her share of “ink” or media coverage is incredible as well. But as a stateswoman or seasoned politician there’s no there there. The question for now is, has she become over-exposed? Will the media tire of her shortly? Will she just have to keep getting more and more outrageous to get attention? I do not believe she could possibly win a general presidential election. But I also feel sorry for the Republican Party hierarchy because it will have absolutely no say in whether she runs for the nomination or not. Let us hope the media and the public tire of her increasingly predictable routine. • • • Bonnie Erbe writes this column for Scripps Howard News Service

Stand firm against N. Korea
GOP foolish to nuke this treaty ichard Lugar is the most knowledgeable senator in either party on arms-control issues. He is pleading with his fellow Republicans to support a treaty, called New START, which would reduce atomic stockpiles while renewing inspections of Russian installations that have lapsed since January. “Please do your duty for your country,” he said in a message to his colleagues. “We do not have verification of the Russian nuclear STEVEN AND COKIE ROBERTS posture right now. We’re not going to have it until we sign the START treaty. We’re not going to be able to get rid of further missiles and warheads aimed at us.” But in today’s Washington, appeals to the national interest over partisan interest make virtually no impact. Not a single Republican has joined Lugar in openly endorsing the treaty and the lead GOP negotiator, Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, has said the Senate should not even consider the pact during the current lame-duck session of Congress. There’s not enough time, insisted Kyl, and the issues are too complex. But that is clearly not true. The Foreign Relations Committee has held 18 hearings on the treaty since it was signed seven months ago and the White House has held more than two-dozen meetings with Kyl or his staff. Obama even met Kyl’s excessive asking price
R
for backing the agreement, $85 billion over 10 years to modernize America’s nuclear arsenal — and Kyl still stiffed them. Republicans from past administrations are lined up solidly behind the treaty; so has the entire military leadership. As Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, told CNN, the treaty would restore “a level of transparency, a level of predictability, a level of certainty with the Russians” that is critical for national security. Can it possibly be true that Henry Kissinger and Mike Mullen have enough information to back the pact but Jon Kyl does not? Of course not. But the real reason for Kyl’s intransigence is politics, not policy. As the Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell has said openly and proudly, his main priority is to deny President Obama a second term. That means giving the president no victory, of any kind, at any time. Duty to party trumps duty to country. Lugar has called out Kyl and his fellow Republicans on this very point. “Sometimes when you prefer not to vote, you attempt to find reasons not to vote,” he told reporters recently. Treaties require 67 votes for ratification, and when the new Republican senator from Illinois, Mark Kirk, is sworn in next week, Democrats will hold 58 seats. In January, that number will drop to 53, giving Republicans far more leverage. The Republican strategy is clear, Lugar said: avoid “tough choices” now, and hope the treaty dies in the new Senate. That would be a disaster. The
treaty would cut nuclear stockpiles by one-third. Inspection of weapons plants, halted for almost a year, would revive. “There are still thousands of missiles out there,” Lugar warned his fellow Republicans. “You better get that through your heads.” But the stakes spread far beyond the treaty itself. Washington has gradually “reset” relations with Moscow to a warmer temperature and secured Russian cooperation on a range of issues, from restraining Iran to resupplying American forces in Afghanistan. That progress could be jeopardized by the treaty’s demise. As Obama told a news conference at the NATO summit in Lisbon, Portugal, last week, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev “has made every effort to move Russia in the right direction.” So it’s vitally important that the United States not “leave a partner hanging after having negotiated an agreement like this that’s good for both countries.” It’s not just Russia. America’s credibility with other powers is at stake as well. How can Washington tell India, China and Pakistan — let alone Iran and North Korea — to limit their nuclear ambitions when the Senate refuses to approve a reduction in America’s own weaponry? In Europe, New START is seen as an opening for the next round of talks, aimed at reducing the thousands of tactical nuclear weapons scattered across the continent. Those “tac nukes” are “much more dangerous” than the bigger weapons, said Lithuanian Foreign Minister Audronis

Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., has warned his Republican colleagues it’s ‘inexcusable’ to derail the New Start agreement. Azubalis, but without New START further negotiations cannot even begin. Sen. Lugar started his career as mayor of Indianapolis, Ind. Just one Russian warhead, he warned, “could obliterate” his city. To derail New START, and miss the chance to diminish that threat, “is inexcusable.” He’s right. Inexcusable and incomprehensible. Perhaps even insane.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Performance unfit for a family parade Yesterday (Wednesday) my family and I attended the yearly Thanksgiving parade. It was a wonderful mix of the elements that make a holiday parade spectacular: firetrucks, beauty queens and marching bands. But there was also something that wasn’t expected — two out-of-town high school marching bands and their flag squads. On the surface there is nothing wrong with that; it is what they did when they paused to “perform.” My family and I, as well as others, were exposed to a dance routine that was only fit for a “gentleman’s club.” Sexy dancing moves were thrown in our faces, almost literally. On one hand, I understand the freedom of expression and how this display may bother me and not others. But on the other hand, this was a family function and not a strip club. The flag squads got what they were looking for in the hoots of the male onlookers — even from a father who crudely commented in the presence of his two young daughters, while the members of my family were too disgusted to continue watching the display. Some may say if I didn’t like what I saw, I can choose not to come back next year. That is a valid point, but what does that fix for someone else exposed to that? I have no issues with flag squads. What I do have an issue with is what these young ladies choose to do to be in these bands. I feel this is one of the reasons girls of all ages believe that they are of little worth if they can't dance or look a certain way. To all of those in charge of the parade I ask that in the future these marching band flag squads tone it down. My family and other folks in this community would greatly appreciate it! — Gerry Morales Salisbury

In a scene being repeated across the country, a line of people wait outside a food bank in Olympia, Wash.
Amid amber waves of grain, hunger thriving in America ood news. An average of 17.7 percent of all Americans were at times unable to feed themselves in the 12 months prior to September of this year. That’s according to an analysis of data from the GallupHealthways Index, conducted and newly released by the Food Resource and Action Center (FRAC), an advocacy group. You may be wondering: in what uniLEONARD verse does a 17.7 PITTS percent hunger rate qualify as good news? In this one, actually. That figure, after all, represents a slight drop from the average 18.5 percent rate recorded at the end of 2009. But even the smaller figure is hardly reassuring, given that it means just under 55 million Americans had to do without food at least occasionally. Hunger endures. It seems a timely point to make as we enter upon that season wherein we express profound thankfulness by gorging on turkeys and hams and yams and greens, potatoes by the mound, dressing by the mountain, and groaning tables full of puddings, pies, cookies and cakes. Hunger endures. The point also seems salient given an often niggardly political environment in which it is common to hear people speak of poverty as a defect of
G
birth or character, and an Andre Bauer — lieutenant governor of South Carolina — can get away with likening children who receive free and reduced price lunches to stray animals you feed at the back door. Hunger endures. And maybe, as your humble correspondent did once, you respond to that by spending some part of Thanksgiving at a shelter, ladling food onto paper plates held forth by less fortunate people. It makes you feel good — or at least, not so guilty about your relative plenitude. Just don’t think too hard about them, about where they will go when they leave this place, and how they will eat tomorrow. Hunger endures. “It’s great that people at this time of year make donations to food emergency charities,” says FRAC president Jim Weill. “But that’s ultimately not going to solve the problem. What will solve the problem is a better food-stamp program, better school lunch programs and a more robust economy which shares the prosperity more with struggling families.” Hunger, says Weill, “existed unnecessarily before the recession and has gotten worse unnecessarily since the recession. As Congressman Jim McGovern says, hunger in America is a political condition. It's not something that exists because of lack of food or lack of resources.” And yes, some of us still view
orth Korea’s artillery bombardment of Yeonpyeong Island, held by South Korea, is the latest in a series of crises concerning the tense peninsula. The island lies just south of the maritime boundary dividing the two states, and is not far from where the South Korean ship Cheonan was sunk last March and where a skirmish between naval gunboats occurred a year ago. A special international panel concluded that the ship was sunk by a North Korean vessel; Pyongyang denies the charge. Some speculate that North Korean leader Kim Jong Il is using force to strengthen the role of his son and designated successor, Kim Jong Eun. Or perhaps military factions are firing on their own, driven by extreme nationalism and spurred by absence of strong leadership at the very top. Meanwhile, the surviving Communist regime in Pyongyang continues to ratchet up the nuclear stakes. U.S. scientist Siegfried Hecker, former director of Argonne National Laboratory, has just returned from visiting North Korea with the disturbing report of construction of new nuclear facilities. One is a light water power reactor, the other an impressive advanced centrifuge plant to enrich uranium. The Cold War began in Berlin, as disagreements grew between the Soviets and Western allies occupying defeated Germany, but it became global with the outbreak of the extremely costly Korean War in 1950. The Truman administration properly moved immediately to defend South Korea from invasion, working through the United Nations. The U.S. navy redeployed to protect Taiwan from Communist China, and anti-communist alarm became even stronger in American and European politics. President Barack Obama’s instinct is to negotiate, often a welcome change from Bush bluster, but not in this case. Years of diplomatic flexibility toward Pyongyang have yielded nearly nothing beyond limited delay in nuclear development. Instead, Washington should emphasize economic leverage, which is considerable. Beneath military bluster, North Korea experiences ongoing economic disaster. Late last year, the government suddenly seized the population’s money, including savings, as part of issuing a new currency. The move was aimed at throttling the steadily expanding unofficial economy, but the result was widespread public protests. In the past, well-aimed economic pressure on North Korea has paid off. The Bush administration declared Banco Delta Asia (BDA), based in Macau, a renegade institution assisting illegal activities by Pyongyang, notably a global black market. U.S. businesses were banned from dealing with BDA, and others followed suit. Macau government authorities froze $25 million in North Korean funds. The money was unfrozen following North Korean concessions. Pyongyang has continued to support North-South commercial cooperation through the Kaesong industrial zone located just north of the Demilitarized Zone. Washington could back up Seoul in offers to expand this collaboration, in return for specific nuclear and other concessions. During the height of the Cold War, President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave consistent support to cultural and educational exchanges with the Soviet Union. Koreans have a rich, diverse cultural history, and the harsh division of the peninsula dates only since 1945. Exchanges should be encouraged. The Eisenhower era also provides an important lesson in the realities of war. The stalled Korean War armistice talks were quickly and successfully concluded in 1953 following extraordinary widespread bombing of North Korea at the start of the Eisenhower administration. Ike knew how to get the job done. Obama should not threaten war but should find public occasions to emphasize this history, and remind the other side of the extraordinarily high stakes involved. • • • Arthur I.

poverty as a sign of laziness. But as recent victims of the Great Recession will no doubt testify, reality does not conform to that stereotype. People are poor because of untreated mental conditions or lack of education. They are poor because there are no jobs. They are poor because the jobs they do find don’t pay enough to live on. You and I are often asked to care about the plight of people who are not like us. But this is different. After all, if you are not a member of some mistreated racial, religious or sexual subset, you can be reasonably certain you never will be. But any of us can be poor. Some of us already are or have been. And any of us can be hungry. Some of us are just a crisis away. So while it’s all well and good to spend Thanksgiving ladling food at a soup kitchen and breathing that wellworn prayer about the grace of God, it might not be a bad idea to also drop a line to your elected representative and let her or him know you consider it unacceptable that children — and even their working parents — hunger in the richest nation on Earth. To draw that line in the sand is to take the critical first step in becoming a nation where everybody eats. And that would be very good news, indeed. • • • Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

TRIBES FROM 1D and to build a fort for the protection of the tribe’s old men, wives and children. Old Fort, near Ashville, was the site chosen for the fort, but it was never completed. The Indian word for Catawba is Iswa, which means “people of the river.” In 1692, the English estimated the tribal population at 5,000. During the next 70 years, the Catawba Indians absorbed the remnants of other Siouanspeaking tribes. However, the population continued to decline due to disease, war and alcohol. By 1728, the population had dropped to
approximately 1,400. The smallpox epidemics of 1738 and 1760 took a grave toll on the Catawba Indians. The census of 1826 found only 110 tribal members. Today, there are 2,600 members on the tribal lists. The Catawbas are recognized as a tribe by the federal government and the state of South Carolina. The Catawba State Reserve is located in York County, S.C. Over the years, much of the tribal culture has been lost, but two cultural treasures remain. The Catawba General Tribal Council, which is very similar to the ancient Greek form of democracy, still exists, and the tradition of Catawba pottery, which is the oldest clay based art east of the
Mississippi, is practiced by master potters. Thankfully, the Catawba Indian pottery skills are being passed down to a new generation of artist who will continue to create masterpieces from Piedmont river clay. The relationship that existed between the early Rowan settlers and their friends the Catawba Indians is not a simple story. It does not end with the settlers (Pilgrims) and the Indians sitting down to celebrate a bountiful harvest. It is a story of difficult times for both the early Rowan settlers and the Catawba Indians. It is a story of people who worked cooperatively for a better life.

In South Carolina, Republican Rep. Bob Inglis lost the election after refusing to demonize President Barack Obama.

though they may be forced by a lack of alternatives to vote in traditional ways. But what if there were an alternative? There’s little appealing about either party dominated by a base that bears little resemblance to who we are as a nation or the way most of us live our lives. Yet, moderate Democrats and moderate Republicans alike have been banished. Purged by any other name. Some of them have landed in the No Labels camp. Jun Choi, a Democratic former mayor of Edison, N.J., told The Wall Street Journal he lost because he wasn’t extreme enough. Maggie Hassan, a New Hampshire state senator, thinks she lost for being too moderate. In South Carolina, Republican Rep. Bob Inglis lost because he wouldn’t demonize Barack Obama. In a recent interview, he told me that he refused to say that Obama is a Muslim, or that he wasn’t born in the United States, or that the president is a socialist. Inglis was warned by a Republican operative that conceding Obama’s legitimacy would cause him problems. Indeed, Inglis lost to a tea party candidate. Inglis is otherwise one of the rational conservatives who dare to suggest that, yes, we have to make painful cuts in entitlements. And, heresy of all, he acknowledges that climate change is real and that a carbon tax, offset by tax cuts elsewhere, is a plausible approach to regulation.

Elijah Cummings, DMd., says House Democrats want to ensure that progressives and moderates ‘have somebody at the table.’ economy, create jobs and move America forward,” said Josh Earnest, a White House spokesman. The president isn’t going to be in a position during the next two years to work exclusively with either Democrats or Republicans, his aides argue. His challenge will be determining — with input from Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, among others — what concessions he needs from the GOP to forge a good compromise, the aides say. People close to Pelosi say she trusts the president — perhaps more so than some of her allies in Congress do — to defend core Democratic principles in his dealings with the GOP. Some Democrats argue that Pelosi’s liberal streak might help the president in that context — a bad cop to Obama’s good cop. “In his negotiations with the Republicans, (Obama) needs to be able to say, ‘Look, you say you’re not going to compromise, but I’ve got Nancy Pelosi over here who is very passionate about these issues, and I

Puzzle solution
Ingles’ measured, thoughtful tone corresponds to a different school of political thought than what has dominated this past political season. Rational and calm, he resisted the finger-pointing and hyperbole that tend to capture attention and votes. Can an Inglis ever survive in such a culture? If not, what are we left with? The answer may be partially evident in the write-in election of Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. The first successful write-in candidate in a U.S. Senate race since Strom Thurmond was elected in 1954, Murkowski won the third way. Defeated in the Republican primary by Sarah Palin’s pick, Joe Miller, Murkowski refused to fade into history's index of has-beens. She kept her seat by promoting ideas and solutions and by rebuking partisanship. Alaskans are by nature independent and reliably rogue, as a nation has witnessed. Thus, it may be too convenient to draw conclusions about a broader movement, but centrism has a place at the table by virtue of the sheer numbers of middle Americans, the depth of their disgust, and the magnitude of our problems. All that’s missing from a centrist movement that could be formidable is a leader. Anyone? • • • Kathleen Parker’s e-mail address is kathleenparker @washpost.com.
House by a razor-thin margin. A more recent example is Pelosi’s stated refusal to consider extending Bushera income tax cuts for the highest brackets past their January expiration. Obama’s aides recently signaled he might be open to doing so temporarily if that were the only way of preserving the tax cuts for the middle class — a bargain the president had steadfastly resisted before the election. Such a deal wouldn’t be acceptable to her or House Democrats, Pelosi told the president last week. Pelosi “can provide that balance with the White House,” said Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md. House Democrats “want to make sure that they’ve got somebody at the table with the president, looking him eyeto-eye and saying basically, ‘You’ve got some people who have been very, very loyal to you — not just progressives but moderates, too — and they truly believe that that’s not the right thing to do.’ “ The White House says Obama and Pelosi have uniform goals and a proven track record of working together, and insists they’re on the same page on important issues, particularly preserving the health care and financial regulation laws enacted this year against Republicans’ promised attempts to roll them back. “The president and Speaker Pelosi have enjoyed a remarkably productive working relationship over the last two years, and he looks forward to continuing to work with her on an agenda to strengthen the
have to listen to what she’s saying,’ ” Cummings said. It’s not likely to be a tidy process. A band of centrist Democrats who last week failed to oust Pelosi in favor of a fresh, more moderate face for the party is ready to side with Republicans on key issues next year. They say they’re eager to work with Obama and the GOP on middle-ofthe-road initiatives that are unlikely to be embraced by Pelosi or her liberal allies. “I’d like to think there’s an opportunity to do that,” said Rep. Jim Matheson, DUtah, a leader of the conservative “Blue Dog” Democrats. The coalition, comprised mostly of Southerners who were once known as “Yellow Dog” Democrats, was born after the Republican takeover of 1994, when it was said they felt “choked blue” by their colleagues on the left. In those days, Matheson noted, they worked with then-President Bill Clinton on welfare reform and balancing the budget — things that enraged liberals and led to angry accusations that the president was betraying his own party. Welfare is “an example of being honest brokers, working together to get things done, and that’s what Blue Dogs want to do.” It’s not what Pelosi or many other Democrats have in mind. Rep. Brian Higgins, DN.Y., said Democrats learned from the last two years and their shellacking at the polls that “we need to be more aggressive with the White House. They were looking for what was acceptable and then moving toward that, instead of what was important, and moving toward that,” Higgins said. “We need to be true to our principles.”

EW YORK — In a political culture where moderation is the new heresy, centrism is fast becoming the new black. Political outliers — not quite Republican, not quite Democrat — are forming new alliances in a communal search for “Home.” Exby KATHLEEN hausted extremism PARKER and aching for real change, more and more Americans are moving away from demagoguery and toward pragmatism. Soon they may have options. Next month, a new political group, No Labels (www.nolabels.org), will launch in New York City. Led by Republican strategist Mark McKinnon and Democratic fundraiser Nancy Jacobson, the organization has raised more than $1 million. Backers include Andrew Tisch, co-chair of Loews Corp.; Ron Shaich, founder of Panera Bread; and Dave Morin, ex-Facebook executive. The group hopes to attract both politicians who feel they've lost elections for being too moderate, and voters who feel homeless. There are plenty of each. Congress’ historically low approval ratings, the anti-incumbency spirit of the midterm elections, and now the influx of tea-partybacked candidates — not to mention Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart’s well-attended rally for sanity — are all testament to dissatisfaction with Washington's systemic failings. Alas, there is little reason to hope that things will change or improve when the new Congress convenes in January. Republicans seem determined to continue their “hell no” strategy. New tea party legislators seem determined to fight establishment Republicans, thus diluting Republican power. Democrats aim to dig in their heels. Gridlock. As further evidence, witness recent reaction to the bipartisan fiscal reforms recommended by Erskine Bowles (Democrat) and Alan Simpson (Republican), both respected for their nonpartisan approach to problemsolving. Neither party was enthusiastic, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi objecting most strenuously. “Hell no” isn’t just for Republicans anymore. When the porridge is either too hot or too cold, the moment for something in between is ripe. More Americans now self-identify as independent rather than Republican or Democrat, even

‘Catch-22’ now an e-book NEW YORK (AP) — The clauses have been cleared, the contract signed. “Catch22” is an e-book. The late Joseph Heller’s million-selling send-up of war and military bureacracy, one of the notable missing links in the digital library, has been released electronically by Simon & Schuster, the novel’s original publisher. As with many books that came out before the Internet, e-rights had been in dispute, with the digital publisher Oped Road Integrated Media announcing in 2009 that it would handle the electronic version. “Catch-22” first came out in 1961 and Simon & Schuster plans a special 50th anniversary edition in hardcover and paperback next year, featuring an introduction by Christopher Buckley and reprints of essays by Norman Mailer, Anthony Burgess and others. “We were in regular talks with Joseph Heller’s literary agency regarding e-book rights for over a year,” Jonathan Karp, publisher of Simon & Schuster’s flagship imprint, said Wednesday. “With the 50th anniversary of ‘Catch-22’ approaching, and with eJOSEPH HELLER books becoming an increasingly significant percentage of overall sales, we both realized the benefits of coming to terms sooner rather than later, and happily we did.” The Heller estate’s literary agent, Amanda Urban, declined to comment. Open Road spokesman Josh Raffel said that the publisher had received approval last year to announce it would publish the e-edition of “Catch-22” and “dutifully did so. End of story.” “Open Road’s catalog consists of hundreds of titles since that first announcement and we are moving on,” Raffel said. Authors and agents have disagreed with traditional publishers over the fair rate for e-royalties. Open Road and other start-ups have offered 50 percent or more, far higher than the 25 percent that had been the standard industry offer. Open Road publishes the digital versions of much of William Styron’s work and of such Pat Conroy books as “The Great Santini” and “The Prince of Tides.” But in recent months, agents and publishers say the sides have moved closer. Over the summer, the Wylie Agency, which represents the estates for “Lolita,” “Invisible Man” and many other classics, started an e-publishing arm and announced it would sell the books through Amazon.com. Wylie pulled back after Random House Inc., the original publisher of most of the works being offered by Wylie, said it would halt all new business with the agency. The e-editions of “Lolita,” “Invisible Man” and other titles represented by Wylie now are published by Random House and available through all major e-book sellers.

NEW YORK — Whether your loved ones are armchair travelers or real-world travelers, consider one of the new travel books out this fall as a gift. They range from big lush coffee-table books to travelthemed tales about marathons and food. First, the big guys. Lugging these tomes on an airplane may put your luggage over the weight limit. But if you’re tucking gifts under your tree or shipping from an online retailer, these beautifully illustrated hardcovers are ideal for folks who like to dream about faraway places — as well as for those looking for real-world ideas. • Lonely Planet’s “The Travel Book: A Journey Through Every Country in the World,” $50. The folks at Lonely Planet started with a list of the United Nation’s 192 member countries, then added nearly 40 places that don’t get their own seats at the U.N., like Caribbean islands, Antarctica, Tibet and Taiwan. Each destination gets photos, description, map, lists of top things to do and see, plus recommendations for ways to experience the place through books, film, food and music.
• National Geographic’s “Drives of a Lifetime: 500 of the World’s Most Spectacular Trips,” $40. For the wordly road-tripper, this book offers itineraries from U.S. 1 on the coast of Maine or Big Sur in California, to the Silk Road in Central Asia and the outback in Australia. The book is divided into eight chapters by type of trip (such as mountains, coasts, cities, history), each offering a detailed selection of itineraries and top 10 lists. For foodies on the road, the top 10 include Hermann Wine Trail in Missouri, pumpkins and chocolate in Pennsylvania and pick-your-own fruit in Idaho. For European lakeside drives, the top 10 range from England’s Lake District to Italy’s Lake Garda and Sweden’s Lake Vanern. • Travel + Leisure’s “Unexpected USA,” $25 (paperback, $15). This book offers great inspiration for those of us who’d just as soon ferret out unexplored corners and surprising places in the U.S. than fill up
the pages of our passport book. A road trip through the Midwest is recommended as a way to see great architecture and design by Zaha Hadid, Santiago Calatrava and Mies van der Rohe on a route that includes Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. Other chapters look at an into-thewild trip in Alaska, a barbecue quest from Kansas to North Carolina, and why Walla Walla, Wash., is the “next great wine destination.” • “Where to Go When: Italy,” from DK Eyewitness Travel, $40. Italy remains the fifth most popular international destination for American travelers (according to 2009 statistics from the U.S. Commerce Department), but when is the best time to go? “January through December,” according to Frances Mayes, author of “Under the Tuscan Sun,” who wrote the foreword for this book, which offers recommendations for every month of the year. February travelers might choose between the Calabrian town of Scylla or the lagoon islands and basilica mosaics in Aquileia, while July visitors might consider the Umbria jazz festival or the hilltop spa town of Sarnano. Next up, the big picture in paperback: • Rough Guides’ hefty second edition of “Make the Most of Your Time on Earth: 1,000 Ultimate Travel Experiences,” $30. This book adds 200 suggestions to the original edition. Organized by region, it’s a load of fun. Try laughter yoga in Mumbai, platypus-watching in Australia, whitewaterrafting on the Nile, lassoing reindeer in Lapland, a tapas crawl in Madrid, and right here in the U.S., eating bagels in New York, hang-gliding the Outer Banks in North Carolina, and cruising the Inside Passage in Alaska. • Lonely Planet’s “The Traveller’s Guide to Planet Earth,” $23. This book looks at 50 destinations from a BBC documentary of the same name. with chapters on mountains, fresh water, caves, deserts, ice worlds, great plains, jungles, shallow seas, seasonal forests and ocean deep. Destinations range from Ethiopia’s Simien Mountains to Lechuguilla Cave in New Mexico to Madagascar, home of the lemur. And finally, a couple of travel-themed
books small enough to tuck in a carry-on bag, telling tales worthy of Odysseus. • “Second Wind: One Woman’s Midlife Quest to Run Seven Marathons on Seven Continents,” by Cami Ostman, from Seal Press, $17. Traveling to another city or country to run a marathon is increasingly common. The author of this book is ending a marriage, questioning religion, and hoping to find solace in running when she decides to tackle a race on every continent. But she’s not out to set records; she dedicates the book to “back-of-the-packers everywhere.” • “Adventures in Eating: Anthropological Experiences in Dining From Around the World,” edited by Helen Haines and Clare Sammells, from the University Press of Colorado, $30. “Have you tried cuy? Did you like it?” Cuy is guinea pig, and those are questions typically asked of visitors to Peru, according to a chapter in this book, which is a collection of essays by anthropologists. (The writer says guinea pig tastes like — you guessed it — chicken.) Durian fruit, eaten on a visit to Malaysia, has “the texture of ripe avocado and the flavor of onion ice cream.” A sojourn in the Philippines leads to a contemplation of food taboos as the author politely declines dog, but finds lizard delicious. Although the text is peppered with academic explanations of concepts like “commensality” (sharing a common gustatory and social experience), “Adventures in Eating” is readable and entertaining. Each story explores foods that might sound repulsive to Westerners but are beloved by locals somewhere. • Lonely Planet’s “A Moveable Feast: LifeChanging Food Adventures Around the World,” edited by Don George, $15. This is a collection of 38 stories from chefs, food writers and travel writers, including Anthony Bourdain, Jan Morris, Andrew Zimmern and Simon Winchester. They range from cooking a lamb-and-eggplant dish as a prelude to an Arabic-language lesson in Jerusalem, to the tale of a chicken shared with travelers on a train to Moscow, to bowls of fermented yak milk consumed in Mongolia.
Collections will put you in the holiday spirit BY GRETCHEN BEILFUSS WITT Rowan Public Library
In late October, the Rowan Public Library Foundation and their guests were charmed with a literary feast which included a presentation from the very entertaining speaker Dr. Elliot Engel. At the end of the evening, Engel spoke on behalf of the charity he often represents, the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital founded by Charles Dickens in 1852 as the first of such hospitals. He introduced to us a delightful Christmas treasury which begins with a version of Dickens’ beloved classic “The Christmas Carol” designed to read aloud. “A Christmas Carol Keepsake” also contains recipes, games and crafts to creELLIOT ENGEL ate your very own Victorian Christmas celebration. The recipes include Dickens very own Christmas punch and sweets with such names as Curates and Maids of Honour. Directions for a kissing ball and how to play Forfeits, an early version of truth or dare in riddles, complete this amusing collection. “Christmas Observed” represents another type of treasury; a collection of short stories, poems, diary entries and letters relating to the observance of the Christmas season. It includes a most amusing letter from Leacock refusing an invitation from a young lady to attend a party for the young in the year 1910. He concludes “I do not consider a five-cent pen-wiper from the top branch of a Xmas tree any adequate compensation for the evening you propose.” Many, no doubt, often feel the same when asked to attend some holiday gathering.
In the short story “Vera’s First Christmas Adventure,” the foibles of obtaining just the right gift are examined. The poignant verse of Anthony Ross in “Christ Ran Stumbling” reminds us all not to forget the unfortunate in this season. The anthology also includes the marvelous story of the impromptu peace between the British and Germans on Christmas Eve during the Great War. The final book selection is Stephen Nissenbaum’s “The Battle for Christmas,” a study of the social and cultural history of Christmas, particularly as it is transformed into the present day American holiday. He outlines some of the more outrageous misbehavior of the British which led to the early Puritan ban against the holiday in the American colonies. However, as the turn of the 19th century approached, other denominations began to reclaim Christmas, urging church services be held on Dec. 25. To combat the general misrule that continued to be prevalent, Nissenbaum claims the appearance of St. Nicholas brought a little domestic peace to the season. The appearance of Santa Claus also began to shape the focus of Christmas merriment towards children and into the home. Nissenbaum shares the experiences of Clement Moore’s friend Pintard and Moore’s own creation of the poem “The Night before Christmas.” Other traditions — gift giving, Christmas trees and Christmas charity — are explained in succeeding chapters. An enthralling study of the formation of our most cherished holiday. Whatever your forte, history, litera-

I was ushered to the set of a scene being shot that day involving Will Ferrell and co-star Jane Lynch, now famous as Sue Sylvester on “Glee.” The scene was one of the few that didn’t make it into the final movie. It involved Ferrell’s character Ricky Bobby attempting to impress his mother with his newfound talent of passing gas in complete sentences like “I love you”, and “Merry Christmas”. OK, it wasn’t exactly Gone With the Wind, but it was as close as I was going to get. If you Google “Talladega Nights Deleted Scenes” you can watch it.

I looked to my right, and there was Will Ferrell. He politely said hi, and asked if I minded if he listened to me do the lines. I of course said no and odered him off the set. No, of course he could stay! He’s asking me? I did three takes of the original line they hired me to do.

cutting those “just in case they needed them.” The plan was to have ESPN announcers recut them later. I’m proud to say they used some of my versions in the final cut. The entire session lasted less than five minutes. I was hoping it would go on forever. I chatted a little with both Lynch and Ferrell. Lynch kidded me a little about picking that particular day to visit the set — the day of the big fart scene — and I assured her it would live in cinematic history, second only to the campfire scene in “Blazing Saddles.” I found Will Farrell somewhat reserved but very polite. He was very interested in my profession, and asked me how long I had been at it. When someone else on the set was recording a phone line to be used in the movie, they asked for my input on how a true NASCAR fan would say the line. Having grown up here, I proudly obliged. Later, I was taken to an adjoining office to complete some paperwork. I was told I would be paid scale for my services, which came to slightly over 700 dollars. Seven hundred dollars for three or four lines. Not bad. What I didn’t know was, according to my contract, I would be paid in future profits as well. I received a check for over two hundred dollars when it was sold to TV, and the checks have kept rolling in each quarter. The last one was for a whopping twenty-three dollars. Hey, it’s money. It spends. I was in-
vited back to the set two weeks later in my capacity as a reporter to do a quick interview with Ferrell. We talked about NASCAR and why he wanted to do a movie about it, and his upcoming appearance in “The Producers,” playing the crazed Nazi author. I personally think that is one of his funniest performances. He was even kind enough to record a special greeting to my then 13-year-old daughter, pledging his undying love to her, and promising to marry her one day even though he was already married, so their union would “only be recognized in Utah.” I didn’t really like “Talladega Nights” when it finally opened in August of 2006, but like a lot of movies, it plays much better on TV. TBS runs it regularly, and I actually find myself laughing out loud at some of the better known scenes, like Ricky Bobby saying grace before a feast of Taco Bell and KFC. It’s reaching “Animal House” status these days. As for my “funny line” in the movie, I won’t reveal what it was. It wouldn’t make a lot of sense out of context, but suffice to say it has to do with the French driver occupying the pole position in the race. I’ll leave it at that. As popular as “Talladega Nights” is today, surely someone must be thinking of a sequel. And surely, they’re going to need a track announcer…. Kent Bernhardt lives in Salisbury.

Center for Faith & the Arts speaker Scott Avett draws guests from 11 states BY KATIE SCARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com
popular band turning down an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman show because of a prior commitment in Salisbury? Really? That was the story behind the story Monday night when Scott Avett took the stage at the Meroney Theater. As a member of the band The Avett Brothers, Scott Avett is, of course, used to being on stage. This time, however, he wasn’t singing or playing the banjo but speaking about his life and his paintings, and about the connection between art and spirituality. Avett was the guest speaker for the 16th annual Fall Colloquy for The Center for Faith & the Arts. More than 250 people came from 11 states, including as far away as Massachusetts and California, to hear Avett talk about his development as an artist. The 34-year-old spoke about making connections between his reading of Gandhi, Tolstoy and the sermons of his

own grandfather, Clegg Avett, a Methodist preacher. His presentation included a slide show of his art, and he took questions from the audience. At a reception that followed, people waited patiently in line, some as long as 90 minutes, for a chance to speak with Avett, get his autograph and be photographed with him. Copies of the book, “For All the People,” a collection of Clegg Avett’s sermons, were available for sale to benefit a memorial scholarship. A silent auction of a limited edition Scott Avett linoleum print raised 900 dollars for Center for Faith & the Arts programing. Sponsors of the event were Caniche, Cheerwine and F&M Bank. In conjunction with the event, 11 of Avett’s paintings were on display at EastSquare ArtWorks, hosted by Whitney Peckman and Syed Ahmad. Many of the colloquy guests visited EastSquare before and after the presentation. And as for The Avett Brothers on Letterman? Stay tuned.

Kneeling Gardeners “Winter Seedlings” was the topic for the November meeting of the Kneeling Gardeners who meet at Trinity United Methodist Church. Club member Angie Graeber shared information for gardeners to chase away the winter doldrums. She begins her summer garden around the time of the winter solstice by planting seeds in plastic containers such as soda bottles or milk jugs. She places them outside in the sun then leaves them to the elements and Mother Nature. The containers serve as miniature green houses and when Spring gardening time arrives, the plants are ready to be transplanted. The club will meet again in January to hear local authors and Master Gardeners Joyce and Jim Lavene discuss the role of native plants in their work. Anyone interested in gardening is invited to attend. For more information, call the church office at 704-9331127.
Dad can’t bless this daughter’s marriage Dear Amy: Our daughter wants her father to give his blessing to her boyfriend “Jack,” when the man tells us in a couple of weeks that he wants to marry her, ASK and we AMY need your advice on what Dad should say. “Jill” is in her early 20s; Jack is 38. They have known each other maybe three months and moved in together quickly. This is the third time in recent years Jill has been in love and gotten a ring. Jill is beautiful, sexy, smart and fun. However, she is irresponsible, mercenary and manipulative with money. One year ago she lied to a childhood friend serving in Iraq and told him she needed a lot of money to pay medical bills because she had cancer. The money really was for a car. In spring of this year she lied to our family and begged for thousands of dollars to keep this car from being repossessed. Jill has a history of not meeting her financial obligations and of stiffing people for services rendered. Her credit rating is in the toilet and she has spent some brief stints in jail. We have gotten hundreds of calls from creditors and collection agencies because she shielded herself by giving out our home address. So, Amy, when Dad sees Jack (whom he has met twice for a total of maybe two hours), should he simply give his blessing and leave it at that? — Third Degree Burns
Dear Third Degree: Given her history, it’s surprising that “Jill” would insist on her daddy bestowing a “blessing,” essentially expecting him to lie on her behalf. Your husband should tell Jill that he cannot in good conscience bless a marriage unless both parties can prove that they know the whole truth about each other. If “Jack” wants to meet, he should be told the truth. Your husband can say, “Jack, I assume my daughter has disclosed her credit history, her history of lying, her time in jail, her debts and other obligations to you? If she has disclosed all of this and you still want to marry her, well then I can’t stand in your way, but I have a stack of my daughter’s bills here and I would gladly hand them over to you.” Jill’s problems far exceed her matrimonial issues, however. She should receive a mental health evaluation. Her behavior goes beyond mercenary manipulation and she won’t change without help. • • • Dear Amy: I just returned from dinner at a friend’s house. Several times when I started to say something, a couple of other guests pounced upon a key word and interrupted. It went something like this: ME: “When I walked past General Hospital yester-” THEM: “I had my tonsils out four years ago at General Hospital, and the nurses were so rude that I ... etc., etc., etc.” Each time that happened, I simply stopped talking and did not try to resume what I had started to say. They didn’t even notice! This type of thing hap-
pens frequently. Really, I’m not that dull. Are we becoming a nation of narcissists? How should this be handled, short of turning down all invitations? — Cut Off in Council Bluffs Dear Cut Off: While there should be a lively to-and-fro at dinner parties, I agree that we seem to have lost the art of thoughtful listening. A host will detect this and say, “But Bill, before we got off on a tangent, you were trying to tell us something. What was it?” • • • Dear Amy: “Crazed Co-worker” was disturbed because after her office mate wrote something, she would proofread it by whispering what she had just written. Unless there are confidentiality concerns, Crazed and her co-worker might agree instead to always read each other’s writing out loud. Hearing someone else read your draft aloud exposes awkward language and muddled thinking. In my experience, this method is faster and more effective than proofreading your own work. The office mates would build camaraderie. Most people are honored rather than irritated when they are asked for help. — Collegial Co-worker Dear Collegial: Your recommendations are great and your reasoning sound, and I agree that sharing work could be an effective technique in team building.

Advice from the experts on writing college application essays
To Ensure Proper Designation of
Christmas Happiness Donations NEW YORK (AP) — With college application deadlines looming, the pressure is on for high school seniors to write the perfect essay. But what are schools really looking for? And what role should parents play when teens try to sum up their lives in a few hundred words? Here are some insights from admissions officials at The Ohio State University and at Oberlin College, along with advice from the author of “Write Your College Essay In Less Than a Day.” Ohio State, one of the country’s biggest schools with 56,000 students on its Columbus campus, gets 26,600 applications a year and admits more than 14,000 students. “When you’re getting the volume of applications we do, you put the greatest weight on the high school transcript and performance in high school,” said Mabel Freeman, assistant vice president for undergraduate admissions. But like a lot of colleges, Ohio State also asks applicants to write 300 words on why they are interested in attending. “Our use of the essay is to try to determine if this is going to be a good match for an institution and a student,” Freeman said. “We are a big public research institution, diverse and urban. For the right student, this is the right place. But for some students, it could be overwhelming.” She added that “the essay will never trump the transcript, but it can be the tipping point.” Students who are unable to visit the campus should try to find an online video tour and look at the college website and other material so they can show in their essay that they understand what the school offers and why it's a good match. As for the 300-word limit, Freeman says, “most of my faculty and admissions professionals are not sure that any 17-year-old has much more than 300 well thoughtout words to say on any topic. Make your point and be done. Organize your thoughts, make your statement and defend it. Why would this be a place that could help you be successful?” What about the parent's role? “I'm fine with a student running the app past mom or dad, saying, ‘Does this look correct to you? Am I saying things that seem right about who I am?” Freeman said. ‘We're very concerned about the student who finishes at 1 a.m. and hits send without anybody looking at that app in the light of day.” On the other hand, parents must not be so over-involved that they write the essay. One year, Ohio State asked applicants to suggest a course they might add to their high school curriculum if they were principal. One writer suggested an advanced biology course, adding something like, “If my son had such a course, he would be in better shape.” “It couldn't have been more blatant” that the applicant's parent had written the essay, Freeman said. Oberlin College, also located in Ohio, is a small private school with 2,900 students. Oberlin received 6,000 applications last year, admitted a third and enrolled 700. Like hundreds of other schools, Oberlin uses the online Common Application, which includes six essay choices on topics like writing about someone who’s had an influence on you or discussing an issue of personal, local, national or international concern. Oberlin also has a supplemental essay with a theme found on many apps: “Given your interests, values, and goals, explain why Oberlin College will help you grow (as a student and a person) during your undergraduate years.” “It is a way for our admissions committee members to get a sense of fit between the applicant and Oberlin, and allows us to envision how this applicant may become part of the fabric of our community,” said Debra Chermonte, Oberlin’s dean of admissions and financial aid. She said admissions officers “aren't looking for perfection in 17- and 18-yearolds. We are looking for the

debra chermonte, dean of admissions at oberlin college, as she goes through applications at the college in oberlin, ohio. human being behind the roster of activities and grades. We are looking for students who love to learn, whose investment in ideas and words tell us that they are aware of their world beyond their own homes, schools, grades and scores.” Essays also demonstrate writing skills. “We also want to see that a student is able to write that first paper for a freshman seminar while avoiding careless mistakes that will drive faculty crazy,” Chermonte said. Parents, she added, “can be great critics and editors.” In one essay Oberlin received, an applicant professed admiration for Julie Taymor, an Oberlin grad who created “The Lion King” musical. Unfortunately, the applicant spelled it as “The Loin King,” an error that a parent proofreader might have caught. Elizabeth Wissner-Gross, author of “Write Your College Essay in Less Than a Day” (Random House, $15), says the hardest part of writing a college essay is finding the right topic. “Everyone has stories to tell, and you don’t have to be the top student to have a great story,” said WissnerGross, whose website is EducationalStrategy.org. “If you find that you’re laboring over it, it probably isn’t the right story. If it’s the right story, then you’ll be dying to tell it and it’ll be fun to write.” She added: “The main thing colleges want to know is why they should accept you. You want your essay to tell them that as directly as possible.” Depending on the topic, “the best way to do it is to tell a real story that gives them one slice of your life rather than trying to summarize your life in 500 words. Think of a good story that shows your greatest achievement so far. It doesn’t have to be that you cured cancer or published a novel. It could be an act of compassion or community service, or something related to a job, or how you dealt with a challenge or a hardship growing up.” Wissner-Gross says a typical five-paragraph, 500word college essay “starts with the climax of the story — the most exciting or most confusing part of the story or the challenge.” The second paragraph tells “who, what, when, where, how and why.” The third paragraph continues the story. The fourth paragraph includes your credentials, and the fifth should “tie it all together” with a happy ending, punch line, moral or summation of “why I want to study this in college.” But students must keep the focus on themselves. “It shouldn’t be a story they observed, but rather a story in which they played a central or pivotal role and saved the day or solved the problem. The essay should “show that you've grown through the experience.” Parents can help kids brainstorm essay topics. But avoid tales from early childhood, Wissner-Gross said. She cautioned that “if a child is afraid to show the parent the essay, that’s a light bulb. A lot of kids will use this opportunity to confess all their worst misdeeds. It’s not a good idea.” While parents should proofread essays, their bigger role starts in ninth grade, by making sure teens have extracurricular activities, whether sports, clubs, work or volunteering.

Students who have the hardest time writing essays, Wissner-Gross says, are the “kids who have such outrageously sheltered lives that they never experience anything.”

The decision to close early, or not open the Center, is made by the Executive Director based on weather conditions at the time and local forecasts. In any event, announcements about closings will be broadcast over local AM radio stations WSTP & WSAT. Whenever there is any doubt about the Center being open, or a scheduled activity being held, call the Center first at 704-216-7714. If staff members are not on hand to answer your call, an appropriate message will be left on the answering machine. To find out about the rescheduling of activities that are canceled due to bad weather, call the Center once normal operations resume. View daily senior center offerings on www.ruftyholmes.org
